Work VPN Being Throttled

Aha. The VPN may be only half of your problem.
The modem/gateway is a router. So you are adding router to router. Bad idea.

Your VPN has to grapple with two routers that are trying to direct the traffic on your network.

The simplest might be to use the XB7 in modem only (bridge) mode.
