I have several wired devices and, after few hours to days the speed also drops. Usually I have 120MB/s download speed and 110MB/s lan transfer speed, but after time they drop to 35Mb/s download and 50Mb/s lan transfer. At the same time webpages are hard to load (appear to be offline, but several refreshes later they open). At first I thought it was due to DNS, but I've tried ISP's DNS, 1111, and 8888, but the results are the same. A reboot solves all these issues, but I have to do it several times a week and it's really annoying.
AC devices also suffer from speed drop. AX is just another nightmare. I have 1 AX201 and 4 AX200, and they all drop the internet randomly after few hours. They all appear to be online (no exclamation mark on the WiFi icon), but I just cannot connect to anything, until I dis/re-connect WiFi.
