Which modem do you have? what you gave isn't a model number.
Whatt firmware are you on? The latest isn't always the best. Reason why is netgear added netgear armor to devices and removed some features. this caused issues with a few of the older routers.
try installing version 1.3.0.20, factory resetting, and manually installing the router (not from backup).
When you set it up, just setup the basics like wifi/internet connection. DO NOT enable qos, traffic monitoring, etc as they disabled ctf (cut through forwarding). CTF is needed for speeds >250mbps.
Also, how are you speed testing? I've seen many times were it was the testing server causing the issue because it was maxed out.
Some apps will let you change the testing server.
I'd recommend trying dslreports.org's server
