There have been a few problems with new firmware on the R8000.
If the idea from plemans fails then you might like to try a firmware rollback.

Love how the free support expires even if it's new firmware smh
This place is free.
Firmware updates can come along years after a device rolls off the production line. Sadly, very few brands support stuff many years after they have relieved you of your money. Try getting Ford to mend your five-year old car.

yeah I moved off dd-wrt back to the latest stock firmware for the R8000 and its absolutely awful. Latency, devices dropping off the network for periods of time, opening a new webpage for the first time gives instant can't connect error, then on refresh it loads. I have a NAS wired in and 720p video is lagging every couple of minutes to deliver over wifi.
I had dd-wrt for years and only moved off that as wanted to have the latest security updates, so if I'm forced to move back on firmware I will scrap the absolutely awful stock firmware
