I have successfully upgraded my GT-AX6000 from 102.6 to 102.7. I did a dirty upgrade. The upgrade went smoothly. I am experiencing the VPN Director issue/bug discussed in this thread: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/vpn-director-bug.96767/ where there is a 10-25% decrease in Upload speed...

Hey dave14305, First, you know a lot more than me about networking and programming. And, you are right. It could be a limitation of Asus software or hardware, it could be a limitation of Wireguard when run that way, or it could be a bug. I guess only Merlin could figure that out. I do know...

Ah, OK. I see what you did there. Essentially, you shut the "All devices" rule off for my device while keeping the rule on. If my device had a .127 or lower at the end of its DHCP IP address, it would have had the upload speed slowdown bug. Essentially, you showed that the above bug exists in...

That appears to have worked!!!! Can you explain what is going on here?

I will give this a try and report back with results

I should add that the 10%-25% slowdown in upload speed is above and beyond the wireguard slowdown speed that would be expected. For my system, I would expect On WAN, upload speeds around 570-575 With Wireguard upload speeds around 500 Whenever a wgc1-5 setting is set in the "All devices" rule...

I don't think so. Take a look at this image. The VPN Director rules state that Wireguard should not be used. The 192.168.81.154 rule overrides the "All Devices" rule. Therefore, nothing should be going through Wireguard for the device at 192.168.81.154. If any other interface is set for "All...

I withdrew it but it didn't seem to help (i rebooted the system after withdrawing, too, btw).

Not running AICloud. What does withdrawn mean?

Already disabled

I have been playing with this for a few hours. This is what I found. All testing done on my laptop and I had the VPN Director setup with a rule for my device set to WAN. So, I should never be going through the VPN! All testing was done to the "All Devices" rule, i.e. 192.168.81.0/24. Again...

The way I understand VPN Director, it is just an Off/On decision maker--a rule hierarchy. First, all my tests were done on the same laptop. And, I repeated the examples many time (although I only showed 1 in each case). I only have 1 rule (1 VPN). So it is essentially a YES = VPN, a NO = Wan for...

But, what does your reply have to do with VPN Director? I showed that VPN Director behaves as expected when the VPN rule is just on the specific device. But the results are not as expected when the rule is on a larger group that includes that specific device, even if there is a specific rule...

Sorry, that is above me. I'm sure that I have something setup incorrectly. I'm not sure what I would be looking for. And I certainly, don't understand how a VPN Director rule would affect UL speeds. BTW, I have a GT-AX6000 on merlin 3006.102.6. if it matters.

Here I have the VPN Director ALL rule set to VPN and Laptop rule set WAN. A speedtest is done and I receive DL 515 and 444 UL speeds. The VPN should NOT be engaged since the laptop rule should override the ALL rule. The DL speed seems reasonable, but I would expect the UL speed should be around...
