Extremely slow - Download Doanload speed 1 mbps for a 100 mbps wifi

Download speed shows less that 1 Mbps. while upload speed is about 60 mbps. Something is seriously wrong with the device. I got it delivered today. Please help me. Even the serial number upon entering it says it is invalid.

    1. what actual device do you have? 

    2. what router is it connected to? 

    3. what speeds do you pay for?

    4. what speeds do you get hardwired into the router? 

    5. what speeds do you get hardwired into the extender (if thats what you have)?

    6. how did you setup the device?

        wired into the extender you get 100mbps?

        are you speedtesting on wireless over 2.4ghz or 5ghz? Try both

        Did you set it up using wps or the installation assistant?
