Usually we recommend having the latest version unless you're having issues.

What "bugs" are these?
You are trying to run a racing car down a cycle lane. Your router's hardware can't handle it.
The R6080 has a top speed of 100 Mbps. But that is the connection speed to the network. Your 100 Mbps Internet needs a bit of slack to handle the tricky management stuff that has to go into delivering 100 Mbps from the Internet to your network.
There are no bugs in there. Just your choice of hardware.

How fast is your Internet connection?
Many modern services are a lot faster then the R6080 can handle.

It's 100, the maximum of the R6080.
