"I would start by getting a current baseline for your connection's actual throughput. Try disconnecting the router and connecting a computer directly to the ISP's modem. Verify that the connection is indeed working as expected, and providing the throughput you recall.

If the problem is indeed with the ISP or their modem, you will have saved yourself a lot of unnecessary trouble."
