V1.0.7.2_1.1.93 has more than halved my speed
Hi All, I knew I shouldn't have...... I updated the firmware. I knew it was a mistake. I'm on FTTH Yesterday it was 204 down / 20 up Today it's waivering between 45-80 down and 20 up....
LOL - I apologise for the 'live update' feel to this thread - I've just reconnected the r7000 and tried again - now it's back to normal - I suspect my ISP 'likes' to see their router or something similar. Sorry for the (now) fairly pointless posts.

Did you load a saved config? Try setting it up again from scratch on the new FW. I had a similar issue with my R7800 where restoring the config on a newer FW caused slow link speeds. It's possible something changed in the firmware where an old setting is detrimental to performance. I have my previous R7000 at my parents house running 1.0.5.70 with no issues at all and no need to risk the upgrade. Good luck!
As an FYI, (for the future), don't load a config form another version of firmware. with a new version of firmware. That will cause problems. If you did have a problem, and loaded a config with an older version of firmware, chances are it would compound any problem you are having.

This is an overly dogmatic statement. It may be the party line, but if you have a complicated setup it can be a pain.
There may be times when loading an old configuration works just fine. There are times when it won't.
If you reload the configuration and things look dodgy, then reset to factory settings.
