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

      Disabled AP mode off it didn't help. The QoS on the other router is off and has never been on.  Any other ideas?  Very perplexing.
