I purchased this router in order to pull my full bandwidth from my DOCSIS 3.1 Modem using link aggregation, which was easily achieved w/o issues. When I used the most up to date stock firmware it was very buggy trying to apply settings attempting to get things functioning the way I wanted in the QoS. My QoS goal was to limit all devices bandwidth a certain amount except for 1 device my main PC.

My QoS goal was to limit all devices bandwidth a certain amount except for 1 device my main PC.
at one point in time i had this working on the stock firmware but it required a lot failed applying attempts to get the desired result. Once I moved over to Merlin the newest firmware I wasn't able to get the same result again even after going back to stock firmware. what I mean by not getting the desired result meaning it was still working to the devices I had limited the bandwidth too however my main pc that I didn't even have added to the QoS rules is being limited in some way and it only happens when QoS is turned on. fyi I use the bandwidth limiter function in QoS. Example. I limit all devices to 50 d/l and 5 up and they act accordingly, however my main pc gets limited to about 500 down for whatever reason but no issues on upload but I only get 42 up anyway with my service. with link aggregation no QoS I pull 1.4 Gigabit down and 42 up. Any tips, questions, or thoughts welcome. been doing a lot of trial and error trying to figure this out. also I've done at least 4 factory resets in-between firmware changes.
