Hi Elaine,
Thanks for the response. I was able to figure out the issue last night and it turned out to be an oversight on my part. I noticed every once in awhile when I was running speed tests on a hardwired connection to a network outlet in the house, the ethernet adapter on the laptop would sometimes randomly enable and disable on its own. I started to put 2 and 2 together and realized it could be a problem with the switch. When I was setting up the switch a couple days ago I ended up using a wrong power adapter that although it fit, it wasn't supplying enough voltage to the switch. Once I swapped over to the correct power adapter for the switch, rebooted everything and tried another speedtest, it was much improved at 35 mbps download.
