New Extender throttles speed to 10/10

Recently updated my Verizon router and extender-- I believe it is the CE1000A.   I have a few 10/100 devices like a Vera controller and sonos products.  The Vera must be wired to be stable.  I plug in a gigabit ethernet switch into the Extender that has coax backhaul to the router.  I had no issues with my old extender but now the wifi speed and wired speed form the Extender goes down to 10/10.  If I plug in my apple TV which is a gigbit device as far as I understand the wifi speed slows but is acceptable.  486/294 to 370/105.  I would be happy at 100/100 or thereabouts but 10/10 is not usable for work.  The new extender doesn't seem to negotiate speeds at all.

Tech support sent me a new Extender early on but that did nothing.  I wonder if the Verizon or a third party Moca adapter would work better?  I can at least plug in the Apple TV into the Ethernet port on the extender.   I have the Coax split two ways now--one to the extender and the other for the FIOS TV.  Any guidance much appreciated.  I am not an engineer.
