After further experimentation and several resets/reboots using latest firmware in beta V1.0.1.100

QOS on 2.4ghz = horrible performance - 1.4Mbps

QOS off 2.4 = average performance - ~24Mbps

Using an older computer with wireless card that supports 2.4 only, so could be bandlimited at the client

 

QOS on 5ghz = excellent performance - nearly full bandwidth of ISP, ~160-300Mbps

QOS off 5 = average performance - ~24Mbps

Using a new HP Laptop and an iPad Pro 10in (gen 6)

 

So something appears to be throttling bandwidth when QOS is off for 5ghz

I have no idea what is happening with QOS on for 2.4ghz. But for now I can at least rely on the 5ghz.

Hmmm... I've never turned on nor toggled any of the QoS settings.  When my 5GHz radio is working, I get the full speed (~200Mbps down).  When it's not working, I get half of that and (or 0), causing me to reboot and/or factory reset the router, whichever recovers the radio's performance.

When I next notice a serious performance degredation on my 5GHz radio, I'll try toggling the QoS settings and see if the speed returns.  If it does, then this confirms your findings.  QoS ("Quality of Service" ironically), even when off, is screwing things up royally.
