Attenuation of the signal will drop it down and give you a lower SNR. It's the SNR that degrades the recieving capability and then forces the system to renegotiate a lower speed (lower speeds are less suscepitble to errors due to the bit length being longer)

The speeds the OP quotes are they the synced speeds or speeds using a test site/program?? If the first then you'll need to possibly try different channel/position/encryption combinations, if the latter and the sync speeds are showing higher then it's bottlenecking somewhere
