Hi Circleuser, welcome to the community! We recommend updating to the latest firmware found here and do a factory reset as described here. Also, does the issue persist on all your devices (wired and wireless)? Do you have any QoS features enabled as well?

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the firmware is the latest. The QOS is not enabled. But if I disable Circle and restart the router I get 300 + MBPS speed.

Yes, the slow down is there on both WiFi and Ethernet connections. Max speed I experienced with circle enabled is around 100 mbps.

Factory reset is done as well. No change in speed.
