R6700 Slow Ethernet Speed

I'm using this router in AP mode and the other router is working fine.  If I reboot the router is will get over 200 Mbps but within a few minutes it will drop down to 20-50 Mbps - both test in a wired connection.  

V1.0.4.120_10.0.91

 

Any suggestions on what to try?

    Have you tried a factory reset?

    Did it just start or has it been going on for a while? (if so, how long)

      Thanks for the reply.  I did a reset and it didn't help.  About 10 minutes later it went from 200+ down to 20-50.

        Does it stay constant in router mode? maybe the primary router you're using has a qos thats slowing it down
