I just bought a new Linksys E1000 router, and I noticed my internet has been a little spotty. Sometimes it just slows down to a crawl, then speeds back to normal. I ran two speed tests and got:

0.83Mb/s (http://www.speedtest.net/)
and
0.43Mb/s (CNET.com)

When I ran the same speed test on my base computer I got 10.0Mb/s, so I suspect it may be the router is not configured properly or something. Any ideas?
