Hi DexterJB,

 

I disabled armor but still the same issue.  Maybe the firmware update caused the slow down?  Or maybe armor is still running in the background?  The interface isn't the best and I don't trust that armor has actually been disabled.

Thanks for the update. As a way to isolate the issue, please try resetting the router back to factory defaults and check if the issue will persist. You can back up the router settings in case you'd want to restore it. However, it is recommended to reconfigure everything instead as a way to avoid any lingering issues to be carried over.
