Current firmware
Firmware Version
V1.3.3.140_10.1.75
Symptoms
device keeps rebooting
2.4ghz gets 100 to 200 mb if that.
5ghz gets 200 mb to 230ish.....
direct connect (if router does not self reboot) gets almost 1 gig

Cannot save log file either. This is stupid. Normal ppl do not know what any of this troubleshooting involves and in this case it would take a full debug to figure it out.

Firmware is all jacked, I have tried all versions and same issue, Router keeps rebooting
and I am not getting the speeds I should be getting over WiFi consistantly. This is very sad for a $350.00 router.

So NO it is not my devices, i have 17 devices and same issue on all.
I will be dropping the firmware back down 1 version because that was the version with the least issues.
YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR FIRMWARE....
after this experience I will never be purchasing a router from this company ever again.
