You didn't give us much to go off other than router and firmware. 

What gateway is it connected to? 

What drop in speed? (actual values)

Was it wifi? Wired? And if wifi, are you testing 2.4ghz or 5ghz? (hint, 2.4ghz is a much slower network)

If it was after a firmware upgrade, did you try a factory reset/reinstall?

    Be sure your not using Armor, Circle or QoS when testing speeds...
