RAX70 - issues since latest firmware update - usb speed dropped massively

Just updated my netgear rax70 router and since the firmware update, the usb speed is only maxing out at 30mb transfer rate, it was 100mb before the firmware update and working fine !

how do i fix this, nothing wrong with the ssd drive via usb to the router

 

how is it possible to change back to the previous firmware ?

Also there was a issue with the 2.4ghz wifi, the speed was only 3mb ! (1gb connection)

had to manually switch of the 2.4ghz and back on again, and that speed to fix that.

Why aren't firmware releases checked before releasing ???

using cat7 from main pc direct to router.

Rax70 is using - Router Firmware Version V1.0.19.172

    downloaded the previous Router Firmware Version V1.0.15.146  and installed via admin and speed back to 100mb usb drive rate without touching anything.

    something is buggy with the latest firmware

      A factory reset and setup from scratch of the router and USB device should have been performed to check the newer FW version.
