Got major speed decrease on iOS devices  - dropped from about 200 Mbps to less as 20 or sometimes even 10 Mbps (measuered with Netflix / speedtest.net App).

Aynone else experienced this?

Any clue on how to correct this?

    If you are willing to test you could try to load .16 back onto the router and check if the issue is fixed so I can report a issue with the latest firmware.

      Trying hard to downgrade to .16, but only do see an hourglass for about an hour during uploading FW .... if I refresh or so then nothing has changed and I have to upload again

      I just rolled it back and and did factory reset and input settings manually and no issues, then after 4 days did factory reset upgraded to latest factory reset again and input settings issue has returned so definitely issue with latest firmware
