I am testing wan speed on a gigabit network while activating different options in the router. Here is what I got so far:
- about 920 mbs while no options are active
- activating web traffic monitor results in a 40-50 mbs speed drop
- activating parental controls results in a 50-60 mbs speed drop
- activating aiprotection results in 10-20 mbs speed drop
I am getting as low as 400 mbs speed if I activate multiple options on the router. Anything that has to do with traffic analysis seems to burden the CPU and it can't NAT at maximum gigabit speed anymore. Core 0 seems to do all the work, while core 1 is at 10%. I am on the latest Asus firmware but I am thinking on going Merlin.
