Comcast installed a gigabit modem today, and gave me the Netgear R8000 router. The tech installed the modem, showed me the device he was using to provision the modem when he was done, and it showed 951 down and 40 up.
Im seeing a max of 300-400Mbps speeds on wired devices and I want to make sure everything is solid on my side before complaining.
I have a Ubuntu 16.04 server with a gigabit port wired to a gigabit switch, which is wired to the R8000. I updated the MTU to 9000 and get the following with ip link

Shouldn't I be seeing at least twice that down speed on a gigabit line? Can you think of any other settings I need to check to make sure its not my config? What other detail can I provide?
The wireless devices are all fine and maxing out around 300 down.
Thanks.
