@Anshumaan

Hello, thanks for reporting the speed issue you encountered on the router, please help confirm more details and we will try to figure it out:

1. Except for the router firmware update, is there any other change or modification in your network, such as adding a new device to the network, or updating the device system/version?

2. Are the speed differences tested when the computer is connected to the router with a cable or via Wi-Fi? How about the link speed on the computer? Below is the guide to check that:

Note: wireless link speed is the same, you may find Wireless network Connection.

3. Try to hard reset the router by holding the reset button/hole for 10s with the router powered on, then reconfigure it from scratch to confirm.

Thanks.
