R7000 1.0.7.6 problem with LAN speed

I recently did the upgrade to 1.0.7.6 and am experiencing a severe decrease in speed in my LAN in my small office.

 

read and write speeds to our internal server have slowed significantly since I updated the router firmware.

 

is it safe to reload the old firmware (other than reintroducing the vulnerability issue)?

 

All the workstations are connected via cables and not wireless.

 

Thanks

It appears I resolved the issue.

 

For anyone who may experience the same problem, here's what I did.

 

I power cycled the router and that didn't help.

 

Tests showed the LAN was running at 100ghz instead of 1000ghz as it was prior to updating the firmware.

 

I then powered down the router, the cable modem, and all pc's connected to the network, including the server. 

 

When I rebooted all devices the LAN returned to running at full speed again.

Hi,

 

Did you do a hard reset ?

As what @HiSpeed suggested, kindly do a factory reset then reconfigure the router settings.
