@Netduma Fraser I am guessing this is something I can't solve myself? Just want to make sure I am not doing something stupid or should be doing something that is obvious.
For the time being I have gone back on the XR1000V2 as the R3 just seems to cut the download speed in half with smartboost and with it turned off it still seems to cut the speed by about 15%. I have attached some tests to show you.

Weirdly I am also loosing about 100mbps in just a difference between the XR1000V2 and the R3.

I am on BT 900mb FTTP and can only seem to use the full speed of my connection with SmartBOOST turned off. Is there a way to change how much restriction the smartcontrol places on traffic? I previously used the Nighthawk XR1000V2 and had QOS enabled on there and it wouldn't throttle traffic unless there was other traffic to priorities?
 
Example:
R3 SmartBOOST turned on - Steam is downloading a game at 55Mb/s with no other network traffic happening.
R3 SmartBOOST turned off - Steam is downloading a game at 90Mb/s with no other network traffic happening.
XR1000V2 QOS turned on - Steam is downloading a game at 98Mb/s with no other network traffic happening.
 
Any help would be apreciated!
