Creating a new thread to focus on this one issue. I don't believe this is a general slow wifi/slow internet issue, but is clearly Circle related.

All tests done on wired connection via my Netgear R7000. I have a cable internet plan advertised as 150/15.

This was all done on firmware 1.0.9.14, and I did a factory reset and setup my options yesterday fresh. I have never enabled QoS or Web Traffic.

I do have IPv6 configured and it works.

Circle was enabled now for 24 hours. Speed slowly sinks down to 37Mbps. I see this speedtest:

Turn off Circle via webpage on router and hit apply. This saves quickly, no reboot of router. Now I see full speed, and see how solid the download speed is?

I turn Circle back on, hit apply and I get this speed test. All tests run inside 2 minutes:

Turn Circle back off, and retest. Going to leave it off for 24 hours now to test:

Looking for any support from Netgear if this is expected, and if it is fixable. Willing to help test if needed, as Cirlce seems like a great feature.
