R6700v3 New Firmware Slow Speeds

I have a Nighthawk R6700v3 with the latest firmware (v1.0.4.120) installed and recently noticed that I was having the same speed issue. It turns out that I had turned on Traffic Meter in the app a couple days ago. Turning it off immediately increased download speeds from 200Mbs to 700Mbs without rebooting.
Agreed! I noticed keeping the access control functionality disabled as well keeps the speeds as expected.
Not to bump an old thread, ran into the same problem as everyone else... I forgot to turn of auto update and got lousy speeds after not noticing it for a while... rolled back to 1.0.3.66_10.0.50 and everything is good. I mean WTF... you have to roll back to a 2 year old version to get proper speeds?
Did you disable Access Controls and Traffic Meter after doing a factory reset on current version of FW?

Yes, I turned both those off, although I never really saw any speed drop with them on..
