Thanks guys, it is fixed; I am getting ~350Mbps down and ~25 up right now connected to the modem or router via WIRED and around ~250 ish on 5GHz. This is after replacing the ARRIS modem with a netgear CM600. Going to mess around with router placement and see if i can improve that wireless speed...

no i haven't but that would be a good test in the future; I actually use different adapters on my main laptop( gaming) for wifi/LAN since the killer adapter i have seems to be built better for 5GHz then the default one on the mobo.

Just ran the same labtop with Cat5e cable connected directly to the modem bypassing the router and used the same websites/servers again to verify speed and I am getting the exact same speed as before with all the other tests. ~120Mbps down, ~11Mbps up Ran the test about an hour ago at 8am EST...

Let me preface this by saying I am a complete newbie when it comes to networking. I am however technical enough to learn to a point ;). (embedded programmer in the semi industry) Thus any help no matter how trivial will be of help. Thank you in advance! I am currently trying to figure out what...
