Slow internet speed

Hello,

I am currently paying for up to 150mbps download speed, yet every time I have checked speedtest I am only getting 20-25mbps. This has been the case for months. I am testing it directly from ethernet out of the modem. Why am I receiving such low speeds?

What kind of modem do you have? Can you post your signal levels form 192.168.100.1?

I want to correct that I am actually going through the router, for some reason I was thinking I wasn't. But it is via ethernet and not wifi. The router is a WRT400N and the Modem is Netgear CM500.

Bypass the router just to be on the safe side and hardwire straight into the modem and test
