RBK30 slow download speeds after 2 days of use
My download speeds go down from 300 mbps to 90 mbps after 2 days of use. Both wired and wireless connections show the same behavior. I have about 20 devices connected. After a reboot speeds are back to 300 for 2 days and then it goes down again. When I do the speedtest from inside the router page, it is always 300+, so the throttling is happening after the router.

Try disabling the following and see:
