Great. That certainly seems to have done the trick and now getting upwards of 650mbps on download. This is with my desktop machine plugged directly into the Hub4.
Now need to try and figure out why I'm not getting similar speeds when connected via a gigabit switch from my own r8000 router.
Edit - just ran the speedtest again from your link and it's maxing at 1084mpbs on download and 680mbps on upload!
Thanks again!

You can't get 680Mbs on upstream. 53Mb is the very best you can get.
On Samknows you can get something like 1.17Gb downstream although 1.2Gb is technically possible.
With Hub4 in modem mode, your R8000 should get significantly over 900Mb, although I don't know exactly what its WAN to LAN throughput maxes at. Things that may stop you getting >900Mb include a faulty ethernet cable or a faulty switch or something else in the house using bandwidth. Another possibility is that you have QoS enabled in the R8000. This is of no benefit on a 1GB connection. It may peg back the maximum down speed on certain devices to as low as 400Mb.
Other possibilities include the processor capacity of your PC. Speed tests are processor hungry. A slow processor can result in an unstable test with wildly varying results. You can check this if you watch your processor usage during a speed test. If it goes up to 95% usage your speed test result might be affected.
Others here may think I am barking up the wrong tree and may have other suggestions.
