Netgear FSV318v3 firewall drastically slows down my connection

I just upgraded to Cablevision's new 30Mbs service. If I connect one of my computers directly to the cablemodem, I see a download speed of about 25Mbs (acceptable). However, if I insert a brand new Netgear firewall (it has 100 Mbps WAN connection), my connection speed is reduced to about 5Mbs.

Any idea what might be going on?

THanks, David Jameson
