Slow speeds on WNR2000v5

Is there any way to boost my Internet speed on my Netgear WNR2000v5. I'm supposed to be getting 5mbps but I only get .6mbps. Can anyone help me?

    I just go a new modem from my ISP now I'm up to 5 Mbs/s. I guess it was just the modem.

      Chilit Do you have the latest firmware?

      How do you measure the Internet speed? Is it through a wired or wireless connection?

      When you bypass the router do you get the 5Mbps speed?
