xfinity 1gb internet slow on http but not https dslreports

[Nighthawk Pro Gaming]

Hey guys, I got an xr500 and xfinity gig internet.

 

On the dslreports speetest, if I am running the test on the http version I only get 300mbps, but when I use the https version I get the max (900+). Also, when I use speedtest.net or the xfinity speedtest I see 900+.

 

It only bothers me because I don't seem to get "gig speeds" when I download. I am not a novice and I understand there are all sorts of limitations along the way, but the fact I am getting such lower speeds with http has me wondering what might be going on at the router. 

 

When I plug directly into the modem on a different machine, I have no issues with http. 

 

Any thoughts/help? Could this be some sort of firewall issue? (I do have windows 10 and have tried it with and without the firewall on and it behaves the same).

 

PS: I turned off all QOS and still see the same results.

 

Thanks!
