I've been trying to figure this one out for a long time. Followed many guides with no luck but have gone without asking.
Currently have an RT-AC56R Merlin 378.55. I connect my computer via a GB nic. Looking at my status I've confirmed the link at 1 Gbps. However, I've never been able to achieve more than about 100 Mbps from the wire or wireless. Directly connected to the modem I get ~210 Mbps, paying for 200 Mbps. The problem lies at the router and I cannot figure it out. Could it be as simple as my ethernet cable? Just re-verified my WAN cable to be cat-5e too. I thought all modern cables were up to the task. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm thinking I can solved my wireless problem if I can solve the wired issue.
