Hi, I don't know much about computers so cut me some slack if I say something too stupid.
I ordered Optimum Online boost about a week ago and the modem just came in. (Had to replace my old modem.) After hooking it up I checked the test on here and it didn't look anything like the advertised speeds.

Should the Boost upgrade be working right away after hooking up the modem or does it take a while? Or is there something on my end that I should be doing? By the way, I do have the modem connected to a router but are connected to the router via ethernet cable and not wireless.
