WNR3500Lv2 Has Slow Throughput on Ethernet

I have a new router that has suddenly lost throughput. It was running at 120Mbps. Now I get around 10Mbps. All switch ports are slow. Direct to the modem is 120Mbps. If I move the Internet cable to an unused switch port and reboot I get 120Mbps back. This should rule out cable issues. I have the latest firmware, 1.2.0.56. I am about to register this thing and waste 2 hours on the phone. I thought the real experts might be better help. Help! 

 

I replaced an R6020 with this router. The R6020 had developed slow throughput as well. I can't help but think there is some relationship here.
