Slow speed and a really strange issues since 1.3.1 firmware update.

I copied and pasted this from the "latest firmware" thread where I posted it last night and haven't recieved a reply. Figured I'd make a new thread as I haven't seen anyone having this exact issue.
I live in a very rural location without many options for internet. Highest speeds I can get with my provider is 25mbs (during non peak hours which I'll get about 15mbs) Last firmware I had disconnection issues, this update fixed that however I'm now having speed issues and its making it almost unusable. I'm getting 5-10mbs from my already very limited internets speeds. if I plug directly into modem it's anywhere from 15-25mbs. Wiring into the main deco is also showing the same 5-10mbs.
I'm also having a really strange problem. Almost everyday at the same time my internet goes completely down. It's in between 10pm and 11pm and last for 1 to 2 hours I'll get 999ping and 0 mbs or it won't even allow me to do a speed test at all. A reset of the M5's will bring it back up but extremely slow speeds like 2-3mbs but again if I connect directly to my modem I'll hit 20-25mbs as this is non peak hours. I've done everything. Played with every option. There's no parental setting enabld to make sense of the down time. Ive switchd out the main deco to another to rule out a hardware issue. Done a full reset of all. Nothing works. It's weird to say that I would have rather dealt with all the issues of the last firmware. Plugging into the main deco is showing the same slower speeds as what I'm getting on wifi
I've had this product since last December. It worked great on whatever firmware was active at the time. Since then I've had nothing but issues with every single update. I'm to a point where I think I'm just done with this and ready to go back to a traditional router.
Ok I didn't have the entire network go down. That will happen im sure this evening around 10pm. However we did just get some slow speeds so decided to check everything out.
1st is the screen shot of the deco app speed test.
2nd test was wired to main deco and got ping 87 ms
Download 8.62
Upload 0.95
3rd test connected directed to modem
Ping 41
Down 11.22
Up 1.34
Wired into modem vs wired into main deco wasn't to much of a loss however wifi was less then half. Also not sure why it showed 2.5 up when I'm limited by my provider to less then 2mbs upload. The deco apps speed test I find is always all over the place. I typically use a different app for speed tests that will both tell me more information and seems far more consistent.
I did take pictures of my computer screen along with the time. I'm unsure if there is any kind of personal data the shows up on a speed test that I should be hiding and not making public.
When it goes down tonight which I'm 99.9% sure it will. It's far more of a change in speeds.
