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.
Yeah, sorry I was getting away.

Speed to Virgin Media Hub 4 was 1072mbps
Speed to computer was 599mbps

Upload is 52mbps

I'll have a check over everything. Cheers
