Intel-3160 - I upgraded my modem to an XB6 Gateway on May 23rd. Since then it appears that my wireless adapter is throttling my connection somehow.

It won't go past 5mb/s, even though it initial spikes up to 10 when the speedtest begins. Previously with my other Hitron modem, I had zero issues with speed. It's something to do with this gateway that my adapter is choosing to throttle my connection and for the life of me I just can't figure out why.
