R7000 spotty 5G performance

I've had a R7000 for a few months now. Initially, everything was pretty good performance-wise. Recently, though, we've started having a problem where some devices on the 5G network have good throughput (>200 Mbps w/200 Mbps service), while others (at the same time) are barely usable (<5 Mbps). I've tried changing channels, which seems to have the effect of changing which devices are working well or poorly. I can never seem to get all devices happy at once.
I'm starting to think it has nothing to do with what channel we're on, but rather the NG firmware. I just yesterday noticed that we're on the now-pulled v1.0.10.90_10.2.90 firmware. I'm thinking if it was so bad that NG pulled it, it could be a possible cause of our issues. I'm wondering if I should roll back, and if so, to what version?
Any insight would be appreciated!

The R7000 has had major firmware issues. the agreed upon stable version is the .42 version of the firmware.
downgrade to that over a hardwired connection, factory reset the router afterwards and then manually install. don't install from a a backup configuration.
Try that and see if it helps

Re: R7000 spotty 5G performance
when you're installing, don't use a backup. just do a standard manual install.
