Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and RBR. CAT6 is recommended.
If the speeds are nothing near 300Mbps, something I would contact NG support about.

Thanks a lot for your help. It is a CAT6 cable and nothing near 300mbps.
I contact NG support and they ask me to pay $80 (on top of the over $400 I purchase it for) in order to make it work for the first time. ridiculous and disgusting. I may run a contest to give it free to a person who going to have this story shared with the most people on social network. I'll go back to my great amazing experience with Linksys products and service.
