Just curious, in the QoS setup what do your speeds show there? Dont run the test again would like to know what the readings are before.

I have exactly the same problem. I have a 300Mbps connection. Every couple weeks, the DL speed drops to about 30Mbps. Upload stays consistent at about 30Mbps, it does not drop in speed at all.

Factory reset fixes it for me every time so far. It's really annoying.
