Hi Merlin, Glad to see youre working in this issue that afflicts, by what i know until now, only specific ASUS routers using PPPoE connections. In a rough estimate, there should be at least 10 people only in this Forum, including me, that have reported this issue in recent times. In my...

Fine it's OK. Regards

Hi unchiu, Is your ISP connection a PPPoE one? If so, the problem probably is a firmware bug. In AC66U PPPoE connections, only with fw 3.0.0.4.354 or earlier, the WAN/LAN bandwidth is not capped to 140 Mbps.

OK stephn and kfele, glad to see everything works the way it should. I think that ASUS should not have removed some of earlier fw of their sites, because only with these fw (and Merlin derivatives, as stephn noted) we can obtain WAN/LAN throughput above ~ 140 Mbps in PPPoE connections...

What's your e-mail or send me a private message and i will send it.

No, it’s not necessary a computer to handle 500 Mbps/PPPoE ; it’s necessary only a future good firmware, or an old firmware: - RT-AC66U with 3.0.0.4.354 FW

See http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=12973 ASUS does not check its FW with anything higher than 150 Mbps? It's a shame a pricey router can not manage 200 Mbps+ WAN/LAN.

At risk of being repetitive, i’m sure that the issue of slow WAN to LAN downloads is a software problem and not a hardware related one. My config is an FTTH PPPoE ISP provider with 200Mbs down and 60 upload speeds, and a CAT6 wired connection between ONT / router (ASUS 66U; N56U or Cisco...

We must do the firmware update (with 3.0.0.4.354) taking a few cautions: - first do a restore to the factory defaults. - without any connection to the router's WAN port, flash the firmware. - after flash do not reset the router. Without any of these mesures, there is not any improvement...

Try FW 3.0.0.4.354

Same problem here. My ISP is 200/60 Mbps. I'm almost sure it's FW because with anyone of new ASUS FW 3.0.0.4.372; ...374.130; and ...374.726 there is download restricted bandwidth. Only with 3.0.0.354 and older FW i can obtain 200 Mbps downloads.

Another firmware that not fixes the restricted download bandwidth: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/547/956h.png/ With 3.0.0.4.354 firmware: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/513/u5br.png/ Interestingly, with HW accelerator disabled, download bandwidth goes up.

I've had the same download issue, as mencioned in http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=11999 I think AC66U has great hardware, but crap soft. The ping time to host 192.168.1.1 varies from 1 ms to 10 ms what is unacceptable, since any cheap router has < 1ms ping.

Thanks for replying. Yes, 150 Mb/s is about what the router gives as download with old 3.0.0.4.260/3.0.0.4.270 FWs, even with hardware acceleration enabled (I did not enable QoS or something else that i think could have disabled hardware acceleration). Even with 3.0.0.4.354 FW and with...

Hi all, I’m a noob so if my questions were already answered, please forgive me. 1. My internet service is 200/60 Mb/s and with my previous router (ASUS RT N56U) i did not have any difficulty to obtain it via cables between modem/router/computer LAN port (all cables cat 6). My new AC66U...
