R8000 Slow Wifi Speed - Firmware 1.0.4.66_10.1.75

Wifi speeds have dropped for all devices in my home.  I'm not sure if the recent firmware update is the cause of this because we were seeing some slower speeds before.  Current firmware version is1.0...

Turn off QOS.

I noticed that after the speed test, it does not save the recent speed reported, and then trottles back using the older/much slower speed test results.

I’m having the same issues with WiFi dropping and speeds decreasing! I download the old firmware update and it’s been running better! The firmware that I am using now is R7850-V1.0.5.48_10.0.4. I disabled the automatic update inside the interface of the router and would recommend doing some research after the next firmware is out.
