Can R9000 support full gigabit Internet?

Can R9000 support full gigabit Internet? Using Kong? Or Advanced Tomato could be a better choice?

I just recently upgraded my Xfinity Internet from 300mbps to 1000mbps. I had to upgrade to a DOCSIS 3.1 modem, then found out my R7000 with kong DD-WRT is giving me no more than 500mbps. Switching back to stock firmware help a bit but still no 1000mbps. Then I switched to the Surfboard SBG8300 modem router combo that can do 10000 but found out it cannot disable the DHCP on the LAN side, DDNS doesn't have no-ip.com support and can't do PAT. Now I have yet another modem (Arris S33) + my old R7000.  Now I am looking for a router that can do 1000mbps and run DD-WRT or Advanced Tomato. R9000?

I opened a can of worm by upgrading to 1000mbps. Sigh.

I have the NETGEAR x10r9000

I have the NETGEAR x10r9000 router & the CM1000 cable modem on Xfinity Internet and get a consistant 945mbps down/42mbps up.  This solution has been in place for two years with no problems.  I use NORDvpn which drops the internet perfromance down to 600mbps down/35mbps up.  The performance was measured using TCPSpeed against a distant Xfinity node, on an hp Omen with 1Gb ethernet NIC and an 802.3AC WiFi adapter
