What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Do you have QoS enabled or disabled?
Are the Sliders configured when QoS is enabled? If so, if you set these for anything less than 99%, you'll see a slower speed test result and thats to be expected when they are being used.
What is the CAT# LAN cable between the modem and router? CAT6 is recommended.
