My internet speeds drop way down, from like 15Mbps to around 1 when I run it through my router. I have it branch off 2 more times through Ethernet switches if that could be causing the issue. I have tried some of the standard things such as disabling the firewall on the router. Any ideas?
 
Solution
to see witch one does it connect to the isp provider directly test speed then go with one device at the time up to the system you have now making test at all of the new part you had .

Its not an issue with the hardware itself. It worked fine before, then we switched providers and added the switches. I get 15mbps when hooked directly to modem, but when connected to the router is drops to about 1.

have tried that, seems that wired connections are consistently good but wifi devices are showing 5mbps-1mbps. I am using G and N with 100mbps wifi capable devices, worked fine at high speeds previously
