Try one or more of the following:
- Try a different Ethernet cable.
- Reset the cable modem to factory defaults.
- Disable the use of any Security controls, like Block Sites and Block Services.

It appears the modem/router is design defective; I have now tried three different modems, the last two sent by Netgear. They all get no more than 45-47 Mbps.
Finally I got referred to Level 2 support - why the heck this did not happen the first time, I don't know. I am now awating the engineer's solution.
This has been a very poor Netgear experience - I can hardly recommend their products.
