WiFi networking slows or fails after starting but can be restarted

[ThomasFreedman]

This problem needs further investigation.

Before establishing an Internet connection (with any method), make sure the create_ap service is disabled:
sudo systemctl disable create_ap
If a hotspot is desired this can be enabled in GUI (Pirate Box Tools--> Hotspot Control)
This issue may be related to the initial surge of IPFS traffic which does settle out. I also resolved by disconnecting Internet via WiFi and using the Hotspot Control Panel to verify the autostart (systemd unit) was disabled. I then reconnected via WiFi and Internet speed was normal.
