    Same problem. Seems it is nothing to do with router, downgraded firmware but still slow on Disney Cirle. So I switched to the OpenDNS parental control. speed back on but not so much parental control.

      Same problem.  Hugely annoying.  1Gbit connection drops to 250Mbit.

    Some other thread suggested factory reset 3 times, using the hardware reset button. Seems excessive, but I'm about to try the same on mine. It seems like things get a bit scrambled after multiple firmware updates.

      Any update on this thread regarding any fix?  I am on Firmware Version  V1.0.4.28_10.1.54 and also have a reduction in bandwidth when Circle is enabled?
