Thank you, I have contacted the manufacturer, and so far have only gotten form-type responses along the lines of 'how to reset your cable modem/router.'
What I am really interested in...is the 54Mbps 'right' or 'wrong'...if it's 'wrong', I would rather not mess with it and just get another gateway.

Ensure the adatpers wifi drivers are up to date from the Mfr.
Try disabling or enabling Smart Connect on the modem.
Try a reset on the modem and setup from scratch.
Might try a different wifi adapter.
If this doesn't resolve what your seeing, this points to the adapter or something in Windows.

Easy way to test it is to actually do a speedtest on it.
The 5ghz should saturate 54mpbs without issues. So if you get speeds faster than that, kind points at it not displaying correctly
