Zenwifi Bd5 slow nodes fast router

All of a sudden I'm noticing that any devices connected to the mesh nodes are very slow.  Typically my laptop would pull about 600-800mbps in the same room as the node. Now anything connected to that node is struggling to get above 30mbps.  If I switch to the central node everything speeds up but because of the distance I don't get much faster than 200-300 mbps.  I am using a wired back haul and it's doubtful that it's a congestion issue since the actual router is in my basement the furthest distance yet had the greatest speed.  I'm guessing it's a firmware bug on the latest firmware but wondering if anyone has noticed this issue and or has a fix. Asus tech support isn't very helpful and I've tried all the easy stuff like rebooting the nodes and rebooting the router etc

Solution:  it's bad firmware. Rolled back to the Feb firmware and it's now working as designed .... What a buggy mess their firmware updates are .. knocked out 5g and made everything on the wired back haul under 40mbps
