ive just purchased this router upgrading from bthub which gave full speed 900mbs the router started off ok at full speed but a day later was down to half speed tried merlin firmware but the same keeps happening until i do factory reset.I'm having the same issue. I have like 500/500, and i get like 250-300 down on a wired connection. If i remove the router and plug my internet directly into the laptop i'm testing on, i get full speed. I'm running the latest firmware. i've tried turning aiprotect off, QOS off. Doesnt fix anything. reset the router to default....no change. This only started happening at the end of march. I did upgrade the firmware, though i reverted to the old firmware and tested and the same thing is happening now....its driving me crazy.
