Archer AX11000 Slow Uploads

Recently purchased the Archer AX11000 and have been enjoying the great WiFi range and speed for internal network devices, but I seem to have discovered an issue with the maximum upload through the WAN interface out to the Internet. I have 1000/1000 Mbps service from Verizon FiOS, but that fastest speed I can get from any speed test site is about 600 Mbps, but more usually around 300-400 Mbps. This is with the AX11000 in router mode. Putting it in AP mode, and I am able to get 800+ both download and upload. I ahve tried all versions of firmware released, and they all have the same issue. I have also tried multiple speed testing sites, and the issue is present with all of them. Results are below:
Speedtest.net using old Verizon provided router:
Server: Branchburg, NJ 427 down/865 up
Server: Washington, DC 368 down/862 up
Server: Baltimore, MD 522 down/787 up
Speedtest.net using AX11000 in router mode (3 minutes later):
Server: Branchburg, NJ 302 down/375 up
Server: Washington, DC 442 down/293 up
Server: Baltimore, MD 449 down/316 up
Results were similar with 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 firmware.
I then tried different test sites with the AX11000 in AP then router mode:
Google Fiber Speed Test (AP mode): 723 down/862 up
Google Fiber Speed Test (router mode): 716 down/558 up
Fast.com Speed Test (AP mode): 750 down/600 up
Fast.com Speed Test (router mode): 690 down/490 up
AT&T Speet Test (AP mode): 599 down/888 up
AT&T Speed Test (router mode): 617 down/596 up
I'm hoping there is some resolution to this, otherwise I will need to return the device. I realize the speeds are fast, but I wouldn't want the device to be limiting the speeds that I am paying for. I also tried factory resetting and running it with default settings and just my test device connected, with no improvement. All tests were done through wired gigabit LAN connection.
Right now, the only way to get the speeds that I am paying for from my ISP is to run the AX11000 in AP mode, but I like the parental control feature and don't want to do that. For the tests, QoS, parental controls, antivirus, etc were all disabled, as I was running the tests with the default router settings after a factory reset. Hopefully someone can help.
