Do you have Circle or Armor enabled? Some users are seeing problems with Circle enabled recently in v2.5.1.8. The fix is to disable it.
Has a factory reset and setup from scratch been performed since last update? If not, please try this.
What was the resolution on this post?
Just curious as you didn't come back with any futher information on it...

I do not have Circle or Armor on. Factory reset maybe I screwed up, because I tried it last night and used the pin and stuff, waited until the power light was flashing amber after holding the pin in for about five seconds, but all of my settings were still there when I rebooted. Perhaps I need to try harder.
The previous issue with slowness went away with a factory reset. The disconnects, generally several times a day, have persisted, and I just live with them.
I'll try harder on the factory reset and see if it helps.

Press the reset button for 15 seconds then release. v2.5.18 is not the problem. Working well for me and others.

Not true....the number of people who have found relief by reverting back proves you wrong
