Slow speeds with new N600 WiFi Cable Modem Router

I have just purchased the N600 Wifi Cable Modem Router to replace my old Comcast Xfinity modem in hopes of recieving a better internet connection. I have a PC located about 30 feet away with only one wall in the way. With the Comcast modem I was able to get speeds around 30mpbs (Im suppose to be getting 150mpbs) pretty consistently. Now with the N600 I am only able to get about 5mpbs. Is this something that can be fixed with some setting changes or is the N600 not worth it?

    Hello Batsofaqua

     

    Are you only getting 5mps on ethernet connections or are you testing this over the wifi?
