Set up: I have a Netgear R7000 in bridge mode, connected (via wifi) to a Netgear R7800.

On first boot, I get great transfer speeds - clocking up to 50 Megabytes Per Second (MBps, not Mbps)

A day or 2 later, it always drops down to 5MBps.

The workaround I've found? Reboot the R7000 once per day.

Has anyone heard of a problem like this, or know what a solution might be?

So you are getting about 400 Mbps at the R7000 on first boot! 50MBps = 400 Mbps why are you measuring in megabytes when its usually done in Mbps eg my VDSL2 line is 57Mbps down which would be 7.1 MBps which is not how routers or ISP's advertise transmission rates at all.

Good question - this is because in my specific situation, I need to bridge a certain PC to more effectively access a NAS on the LAN. (This PC also accesses the internet, but my broadband connection is just 55 Megabits/sec so that works just fine. However, I'm transferring 15GB files across the LAN - and this daily degradation dramatically impacts the transfer time.)

WHAT firmware are you running?
 
Firmware:
R7000 (Bridge mode) = V1.0.8.34_1.2.15
R7800 = V1.0.2.28

I just checked again. Last night at 9pm - 60 Megabytes per second on the LAN. Right now at noon, 8 Megabytes per second on the LAN.

Ugh. Would appreciate any pointers!
