Hi bkastel,
We’d greatly appreciate hearing your feedback letting us know if you need further assistance.
Well I applied the 1.0.3.36 update again then factory reset the router. I don't have the time right now to write down and manually enter all the settings so I restored them from a backup. I have static addresses, port forwarding, network drives, external AP, wifi, DNS, etc. It's been a week and my speed has continued to remain fast. I do think I have some conflict with the neighbors wifi because I used to get my full 240Mbit download from 5G wifi and now I can't get much more than 180Mbit. I need to borrow my wifes Andriod phone and use the WiFi analyser app to see where the conflicts are. I feel that's plenty fast for my needs. Wired is still 240Mbit.
