are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz?

Maybe the new update has your device on the 2.4ghz now.

2.4ghz is much slower and sensitive to interference

      Look on the device you're testing on. Some will tell you. 

      Or you can look in the orbi attached devices page. I think that tells you as well.
