Deco x60 firmware v 1.5.1 (Build 20210204 Rel. 50164) is incredibly bad

Upgraded to 1.5.1 via the app and my network is crippled!
Prior to this firmware I had amazing throughput on my devices and internet speed tests at 100% my ISP rated service (200MB). Now I get .12MB, can't hold a stable VPN connection for my work laptop, RING devices randomly drop... it's a total s-show! Device to device within the network is crippled as well, streaming an MP3 @ 320k studders! I am beyond disapointed in this release.
I have done hard resets, soft reboots, hard reboots, switched to AP mode and back to router mode, verified DNS, turned off UPNP, all to no change. Deleted network from known networks on iOS devices, windows devices, all take me right back to where I was.
At this time I want to roll back to the previous version, the latest on the website, and I cannot.
The ability to roll back should be baked into the UI on the web interface!
Can anyone, from support or not, get me downgrade instructions for the Deco x60 from 1.5.1 to 1.0.5, the latest on the support site for firmware.
Thanks!

Currently have the following setup.
Modem/Router > Gigabit Switch(TL-SG1016) > Deco X60 (As AP). I set up the deco as an AP to avoid double NAT.
Deco X60 running Firmware 1.5.1 Build 20210204 Ref. 50164
Problem:
Upon startup, I notice that my switch detects a 1gbps connection, which then gives me my 600mbps internet. But after a few hours, my internet connection drops to 90mbps, and when I check my switch, the 1gbps light turns off, and I get capped at 100mbps. Tried opening the Deco app to see if I have QOS enabled, but the HomeCare menu isn't available. Also looked for the uPNP setting in the "Advanced" section, but it isn't there either. Has the HomeCare feature been removed? Are there any hardware issues with regards to the Deco X60 and the SG1016? My experience with the X60 has been very disappointing so far. Was looking forward to better performance since my M5 has been working great.

Hi, when Deco is under access point, it isn’t the gateway anymore so the HomeCare feature is no longer available.
I have noticed that there are several X60 and M5 under your TP-Link, are they all directly connected to the TL-SG1016?
If possible, would changing another X60 as the main Deco make any difference?
