How long has it been since you reset it? And if you have recently did you leave it off for a couple minutes to let it completely loose all power?

Do a speedtest without the router. If you get the same slow speed than the problem is from your ISP.

If you get normal speed than try a firmware update on your router.

So with a wired connection your speed is ok ? Your problem is only on wireless ?

You could instal inssider and search for a free wifi channel and use that.

Be sure you use 802.11n.

Also, check advanced wireless settings, see if you can increase antenna power.

Pressing the factory reset button will put it back to the normal login (found on the bottom of your device)

If your router is provided by your ISP and you think it's broken. Ring them up. Tell them it's broken and request a new one.
