Lan connections throttled to <100mbps post update to 1.4.2.84
Since latest Update on Saturday night, LAN connection speeds have throttled to less than 100mbps. External WAN speeds measured from router still 500 Mbps. Anyone know if there is an issue with this version bios? Can I roll it it back to prior version?

Prior to downgrading the firmware, I'd try a factory reset. Usually the first thing I try if there's issues after a firmware update/change.
Sometimes old settings can cause issues and the reset can clear that out.
If it doesn't work, then I'd try downgrading. Its pretty easy. go to the support site for your device, click on downloads, then "+view previous versions". Once downloaded, extract the firmware. Then follow the manual firmware update process but use the older firmware and not newer firmware
