What ISP service do you have? DSL or cable?
What ISP modem Mfr and Model# do you have?
What FW version are you using currnetly?
If you decide to update FW, manually download the FW file. Use IE11 or FF and clear all browser caches before and after loading FW. Factory reset once more after the FW file is processed, then set up from scratch.

Hi
My ISP is Comcast, download speeds up to 75 Mbps. I have cable modem, model Motorola SB6121. I installed the newest firmware 1.0.3.46_1.1.32. Meybe will help.
I needed restart router every 3-4 weeks. I have HDD connected to router. I'm sure this is not modem issue it is something wrong with router. After a 3 weeks download/updload speed is decreasing from 20Mb/s to 3-4Mb/s from HDD. HDD is connected by USB 2.0. Also is decreasing speed from internet. Restart helps.
Thank you.
Is QoS and IPv6 disabled on the router?
QoS is disabled, IPv6 Enabled. Does IPv6 make R8000 problems?
I have 14 devices in my network: smart TVs, smartphones, iphones, computers and xbox one. All devices have the same problem with a speed, with no difference to which networks are connected 2.4 or 5Ghz. The router uses channel number 4 2.4Ghz, 48 and 149 5Ghz.
Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended channes. Also 13 if your in the Europe region.
