Losing connection after firmware update!

Hi!
On the evening of friday 12/3 I saw a notice in the Deco app on my phone that a firmware update was availble. I let the app install it for my 2 Deco-units and it was successful.
The morning after my wireless connection on my PC starts out fine but loses connection after a couple of minutes. If I disconnect and re-connect in Windows it works fine, full speed, for a couple of minutes and the stalls again.
I've rebooted the pc, rebooted the both Decos, did a reset on them, removed them from my network and added them again, disabled my VPN, problem is still present!
Attempted to downgrade the firmware but I get a message that only installation of newer versions of the firmware is possible. The firmware that was installed yesterday was NOT named 1.5.3, but a slightly lower number. I found 1.5.3 for download on the website and manually upgraded to 1.5.3 via cable but the problem remains. It's feels as if when a certain time as passed or a certain amount of date has been received, the connection just dies. It is the internet-access that is lost, I'm still connected to my LAN. (I get the icon with a little globe with a disabled-symbol.)
How do I roll back to see if that takes care of the problem? What could be the problem with the new firmware??
Yes, before the firmware update everything was working flawless for the 8 months I've had the M5.
The color of the led never changes while the connection is down, neither on the main deco nor the AP. However, since the trouble started I brought
home a laptop which connects to the wireless network with a totaly stable connection. No problems with the phone either. So it seems my desktop and
Deco stopped getting along a few hours after the last update. ISP is Bahnhof.
So far I've re-installled the USB adapter twice, tried another adapter without luck, and manually re-installed the lastest firmware on both Decos via cable.
I can access every website just is fine when I boot up, then within 5-10 minutes the ethernet access is lost, and if I disconnect from my home network and reconnects it
starts working again most of the times, for 5-10 minutes. Rinse and repeat.. Sometime I must make several attempts for it to connects again. VPN on or off makes no difference.
I would prefer if it was just as bad on all my devices not just the PC.. Any logs that can reveal anything?
Hi,
So currently, only one laptop would lose the internet connection from the Deco since the firmware has been updated to 1.5.3, right？
Would turning off the Mesh Technology on the Deco APP for this computer help or not?
May I know the model number, as well as the operating system of this laptop and, could you please refer to this link to help me check the system info and driver info about this computer as well:

And if possible, could you please help me check the IP address and ping the gateway on the computer when the internet lost?
Thanks a lot and wait for your reply.
