slow ouput from CM500 modem

I have a 500 mbps speed from my ISP Wowway and I have a google wifi mesh system for wifi coverage. The output from the Google wifi mesh network is only around 85-90 mbps. I have had the ISP re-provision the modem but this has had no effect. Is modem CM500 compatible with Wowway service? Is the modem output capacity limited irrespective of the signal strength it receives from the ISP? Would appreciate responses to find out how responses to above questions and recommendations on how to increase the output speed from the Google wifi mesh system

    What speed do you get directly connected to the modem with a pc/laptop? 

    Did you ask wowway what speed they support for the cm500? its ISP specific.
