>> ...cut my wifi download throughput in half...
If you've already tried these, then ignore. I was able to improve/restore my download WiFi download speed (400-500Mbps) by doing these:
1. Disable 20/40 MHz Coexistence
2. Preamble Mode: Short Preamble
3. Separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz
4. Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING - Boosts WiFi speed, reliability, & range for all mobile devices
5. Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings
BTW, Disney Circle and Access Control will affect the CPU performance under high traffic loads, i.e., Speed Test.
Good luck!

This is a pretty good point to make. It is intuitive if you think about it. Armor as well. (Sigh)
IMHO, Armor and Disney Circle are Trojan Wares that are just baits that will hook their customers for the life of Orbi. Just another form of in-app purchases and subscriptions on Orbi platform, which enables NG to get a cut/share of the profits. It's a smart move for NG nonetherless.
