for some reason post firmware update access to the admin console is glacially slow. Doesn't matter how close/far i am in the chain to the RBR. already did one complete factory reset plus a new flash of the firmware. any ideas?

update: cts/rts to 2347 seems to have improved things immensely.

What browser are you using? Try other browsers to see if problem follows.
Be sure to clear out all browser caches before entering the routers web page?
Try 192.168.1.1?
Do other PCs or laptops exhibit this same issue?
Is Armor or SPC enabled on the RBR?

RBR is in AP mode - wired backhaul - two ethernet connections from fios router to lan ports (not WAN) - same setup that has worked flawlessly for a while. no armor or SPC.
tried across different browsers and machines.
CTS/RTS seems to have done the trick

What do you mean by glacial? How much time is that?
"RBR is in AP mode - wired backhaul - two ethernet connections from fios router to lan ports (not WAN)"
So is LAG enabled on the RBR?
FYI, when in AP mode or router mode for that as well, the WAN port is required for normal and good working operation. Also the front LED indication reports from the WAN port as well. If your not using the WAN port then this is not a supported connection when in AP or router mode.
I ran mine in AP mode using WAN port and have always used default CTS 64 and have never seen any slow down on accessing the WEB UI.
