When sitting in my office where I have my modem and router, testing the signal strength is 100% signal, 144Mbps.

This "modem" may also be a "gateway". A gateway usually refers to a modem/router that has added features, such as a telephone socket.

Tell people the make and model of this modem and you may get better help.

Any speeds you test over wifi are more likely to measure the capability of your wifi devices, not your Internet speed. The only reliable tests are with a direct wired connection.

link speed isn't the same as actual throughput speed. And 2.4ghz is slow.
so what actual speed do you get out of it?

  Ah ok, thank you for clarifying that. I haven't really been keeping up with the current technology for the past 4 or 5 years.
  
  My modem is a Netgear CMD31T and I tested my internet speed my result was 137.5Mbps
  
  My router is a Netgear WNR3500Lv2. I'll keep posting my router that way there isn't so much back tracking to see what router I have.

    so the router is getting the full 137mbps hardwired in?
    And what speeds do you get over wireless? Just trying to see if you're speeds are actually slow or an expectation of that router
