my rt ac 88 u running 2.6 has started to drop it's speed from 90+ to about 9 MBS . I have tried several firmwares with a full reset after each flash but no joy. The only thing that helps is a power cycle,I usually do both the modem ( an arris 8200) and the router. It doesn't always work but if I keep doing it it does fix it for a while, sometimes a few days sometimes a few hours. The router must be about 3 years+ old and gets used every day, mainly for streaming and web surfing. Do you guys think it's time to put the old girl to rest or is there anything else I can try? One thing I did try last night was do a site survey and found the best channel for the 2.4 GHz radio was 7 and that helped that radio
