Poor Mbps on newly installed Raxe500 !?

Good Morning.. I set up a new Raxe500 last night and am finding the speeds I’m getting very bad compared to old BT hub. For example at my tv in living room am now getting 144mbps use to be more like 600 ?? Also I have 1 gig at the modem.. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve tried rebooting etc.

    How did you test?
    Which band (2.4/5 GHz)?
    Which firmware version?
    What is this modem in front of the router?

    microchip8 is correct. More details are needed. 

    144mbps is in line with what you'd get over 2.4ghz but 5ghz should be faster. 

    But we don't know what band you're connecting on, what device you're testing with, or even how you're testing
