Yes, all my speed tests have been carried out via direct connection using ethernet to whichever router I was trying out at the time. Also, all other devices (incl wifi mesh) were disconnected to ensure only the laptop I was using was the only device accessing the connection.

I recently had 1gbs fibre installed in my home and realised my existing ASUS AC87 was not up to the task (maxing out around 500-600mb download). I'm led to believe that 1gb WAN with PPPOE can be taxing for a router and needs a good CPU. I then tried a Draytek 2865 and there was a slight...

did a factory reset and reconfigured all settings and seem to be getting max speeds now. i think the root cause of the problem was traffic monitoring as theres a setting there that disables hw acceleration for wired connections.

I recently got connected to Vodafone UK Gigafast 500 down / 500 up FTTP service, however I am struggling to get full speeds on my AC87U router which is running Merlin 384.13.10 (the last stable build for this router). On a wired connection directly into the router, I am getting a max 280mbs...

My network is currently configured with a N66 router as the main router (with its wifi disabled) and use two other asus routers for wifi, a AC87 and an AC56 which are configured as AP mode and ethernet wired back to the N66. I am thinking about using Aimesh which I believe can be configured on...

thanks, thats solved it. Did a factory reset and reconfigured everything and had traffic monitoring per ip working. Then upgraded to 380.61.

right, I've rolled back to 380.57 and NAT acceleration is disabled (as has been from start) but there's still no real time traffic monitoring per IP! any ideas what else I can try?

Having used only the stock firmware before, i was intrigued to try the merlin firmware, especially the traffic monitoring. I,ve got the latest build merlin loaded in. I cant seem to get the traffic monitoring to work though. I've set it on under the tools setting and enabled the usb logging...
