I'd let it run for a bit longer and observe before another FR. Possible that maybe your testing the speeds a bit to soon after the router is fully ready and other things are happening that is taking up some CPU time and after this settles, speeds are normalized...

I liked the theory as it made a lot of sense but unfortunately it didn't work. I rebooted the router and went and did something else for 45 minutes. The extra time did stabilize the download speeds, so I think your theory was partially correct, but they stabilized down the way between 27 and 44 Mbps. Disabling OFDMA (since it happened to be enabled) increased the download speed to between 441 and 459 Mbps. Oddly this time enabling OFDMA again made things worse with download speeds between 366 and 381 Mbps. To check if this was consistent, I disabled it again and download speeds went back up to between 457 and 464 Mbps.

Might give a factory reset another try then.
