When I enable the traffic analyzer feature "Enable IPTraffic (per IP monitoring)" my speed about gets cut in half.

I go from ~880 Mbps to ~444 Mbps after I enable.

Removing the per IP monitoring and rebooting the router will restore ~880 Mbps speeds.


Why & fix or something I am doing incorrectly?

Forgive me for being noob, but, I don't know how hardware acceleration works with routers.

My old linksys router never had this problem. But.. Not sure if it had hardware acceleration. Certainty it didn't monitor traffic.
But the speed never suffered.

So.. It's either have monitoring or have speed?

Basically....yes. hardware acceleration is used for connections over 200mbs.
 
Why does enabling per user traffic analysis need hardware acceleration off?

Because IPTraffic is implemented at the iptables level, and hardware acceleration bypasses portions of iptables - that's in part how it's able to achieve that speed gain.
