I decided not to wait.

I plugged my laptop into the cable modem and tried again.

Ping = 18 ms
Download = 19 Mbps
Upload = 3.xx Mbps (I didn't write that one down)

Power cycled the router and got:

Laptop
Ping = 31 ms
Download = 7.04 Mbps
Upload = 3.69 Mbps

Desktop
Ping = 18 ms
Download = 7.13 Mbps
Upload = 3.7 Mbps

Sounds like the good old reliable Netgear router -- which I've had since 
the days of @home -- needs to be retired. I've got a couple of 
WRT-whats-its in the closet. Must be time to get one out and fire it up.

Thanks again for the pointer.
