What update did you do? firmware on it? 

What router is it connected to? 

If the performance decrease happened after a firmware update, did you try a factory reset and reinstall?

because it got even worse, I tried a firmware update, it did not make it any better.
Hardwareversion: EX7300
Firmwareversion: V1.0.2.158
it worked perfectly for over 1.5 years.
I use it as Access Point with a lan cable to my Vodafone Easy Box 904 Router.
