Nighthawk X4s AC2600 R7800

Since I updated the firmware to v1.0.2.60 I have had a significant drop in my wifi signal to my devices. I hardwired my laptop to my modem and I was able to receive 117.2mbps. When I reconnected the modem to the router and checked speed, I was only able to get 34.2mbps.
I have checked the speed of my internet using the Nighthawk app, and I am getting 117mbps steady. The unit is about a year old. No obstructions, the only difference between this week and last week is I updated the firmware. What could the problem be? I appreciate any help!
