@tman222 Yes I did try them. I had to remove them because my download speed went down by 100 mbps.

Have you tried to disable hyper-threading to see if that helps any? Is Turbo Boost enabled? This whole setup is running on bare metal (vs. virtualized), correct? Are there any other expansion cards installed in the system?

Also, under System / Advanced / Firewall & NAT do you by chance have the "IP Random id generation" enabled? If so, try disabling it to see if makes a difference in performance.

Hope this helps.

@tman222 There are no additional expansion cards in the system. This is running on bare metal. Keep in mind when I had cable internet (1 gbps / 20 mbps) I achieved 960-980 mbps download under the same configuration. I do not have random id generation enabled. I have tried it with and without hyperthreading. I have also tried it with and without turbo boost. Nothing seems to help. This is why I am leaning towards an incompatibility between the modem and the network card but I am open to ideas and suggestions prior to buying a new NIC. Thanks.
