Slow WAN speeds with ASUS RT-AC87U

I'm looking for some help with my new ASUS RT-AC87U router. I'm getting only 1/3 of the the internet speed when the cable modem is connected to the routers WAN port.
Here is what I observed: When I connect my desktop computer by Ethernet cable directly to the Motorola cable modem I'm getting 30Mbps down and 9Mbps upload speed. But when the modem is connected to the routers WAN port I'm getting only 9.5Mbps down and 4Mbps up. No matter if I use a wired or wireless connection to the router the result is always about the same.

I can't explain what the issue could be? I have rest to the router to factory defaults after updating to the latest firmware (3.0.0.4.376_2769).
The routers log shows about 30 entries that could be an issue:
-Dec 22 22:11:16 kernel: HTB: quantum of class 170002 is small. Consider r2q change.
The message is always the same, only the class number is different:
Everything else seems to be standard log entries.
I don't know what that means and if it has anything to do with the WAN port. And if so can I even change that r2q value?
