Wifi speed <> hard wire speed
I am a brand new customer on a rented UBEE DVW326. My connection speed per the Cox speed check when hardwired is 95. Over my WIFI when I am sitting right next to the modem is between 15 and 35. Help!

First, what speeds do you get wired to the gateway?
Second, how do you have the wifi configured? To access the gateway, go to 192.168.100.1, username: user , password: user and pick the "Wireless" tab > Radio. Here is what I suggest;
Output Power: 100%
802.11 Band: 2.4Ghz
802.11 n-mode: Auto/On
802.11 N Support Required: On
Bandwidth: 20Mhz - You can play with 40Mhz but this breaks some older Wifi N connections
Control Channel: Auto - Unless you see many channel changes in logs or many networks in your area on 1 channel.
Reg Mode: Off
OBSS: Disabled, unless you use 40Mhz bandwidth or there is extreme congestion.
You can click "Scan Wireless AP" to see other Wifi networks around you and their channels. Then Wireless > Primary Network make sure WPA/WPA2 Encryption is set to AES. If any connections on your network use TKIP it can bottleneck the whole wifi network.
