Model: Archer VR600  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.6.0 0.9.1 v009e.0 Build 230809 Rel.6944n

I've just upgraded my fibre broadband to a 1 Gbps connection and when I connect the fibre ONT directly to my PC I'm getting very close to the full 1000 Mbps download speeds.  

 

When I connect my VR600 to the ONT in wireless router mode and connect my PC to the VR600 via ethernet my download speeds drop to < 400 Mbps despite both the PC and the VR600 reporting a 1000Mbps link speed.

 

I've tried replacing all my cables with brand new Cat 8 so the issue seems to be with the VR600's internal WAN - LAN throughput.

The issue was definitely the VR600, I swapped it out today for a Linksys MX4200 and got my full download speeds straight out of the box. WiFi coverage from a single MX4200 covers pretty much the whole of my house without the need for nodes or extenders.
