You will never get faster than 100 Mbps with that router.
According to Netgear's manual for the R6080, not always the most reliable source of information, the LAN and WAN ports support only 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. That makes it slower than many newer internet services and most modern network hardware.
Your CM500 can deliver 1000 Mbps.
Replace your router with something more capable and you should be able to get nearer to 300 Mbps.
