I have had issues with this release. Download speeds are around 100Mbps after restarting router. Then after a minute passes download speeds go down to 50 Mbps and stay there until I restart the router and then the whole process of slowing down after a minute repeats itself. I did a factory reset on the router and satellite, and also downgraded the firmware to 2.5.1.16 and that did not help. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

You better go for Router Firmware Version V2.3.5.3.
It tuns faster and it doesn't max out the CPU.

I know this might be obvious but did you reset the modem? If not I'd reset the modem and plug a computer into the ethernet plug then check the speeds. If that gets you the same results I might try deleting the firmware you previously downloaded and download a new copy of the latest firmware. and flash it with the new copy.
I did everthing that everyone suggested and it still hasn't helped. I did hook the computer right to the modem and got over 100Mbps. Everthing was working fine before this firmware update, but even when I downgrade the firmware I am getting the same problem. Any other suggestions?
When you measure the speed after rebooting, are you measuring it from the Orbi itself? I wired computer or a wireless computer?
