Hi, please please respond is someone is familiar with this DSL modem speed issue:
Just installed a new modem router DGND3300 and internet access speed got decreased dramatically. (previously had Actiontec modem/routers that became unreliable and started dropping connections too often after years of work).

DGND3300 is connected with all light lite-up correctly and not warning of any kind showing. Internet is connected, just way too slow!!!
I was able consistently get a 2.5mb down speed with old Actiontec, and when switched to Netgear, downspeed is barely .5mb as measured with speedtest.net. Also speedtest.net shows a 24ms latency on Netgear, as opposed to 16ms latency for Actiontec. Upgraded Netgear to latest firmware and restarted numerously with no benefits. Netgear Tech suggested trying different MTU size to 1492, 1400, 1358 or 1300. -That made no real difference. However, when I disconnect Netgear and connect back my old Actiontec, I get consistent 2.5mb down,.5mb up speed and latency of only 16ms.

I know it is unlikely to be ATT or wiring issue, still, perhaps someone knows the secret.
