    WAN throughput slower without NAT

    In case anybody runs into the same problem as I did: Just swapped the router with the newer and more powerful RT-AC86U, it manages Gigabit WAN even with NAT disabled. (i.e. make sure you have a fast CPU)

    WAN throughput slower without NAT

    oO so NAT acceleration is in hardware, didn't know that. Thanks for your answers coxhaus and ColinTaylor.

    WAN throughput slower without NAT

    OK, according to this (https://www.practicalnetworking.net/stand-alone/routing-between-vlans/) there is no routing between VLANs using a switch, I thought you might be able to configure some sort of routing table on these things. Still, is there a logical explaination why disabling NAT would...

    WAN throughput slower without NAT

    Just a wild guess, would it be possible to somehow use a separate managed switch to create two VLANs as they are fairly cheap? I could then setup one router in each VLAN and use routing tables to route traffic across. The routers then provide DHCP for each VLAN. Something like that: ISP ->...

    WAN throughput slower without NAT

    coxhaus, thank you for your quick answer. I have never worked with VLANs before, guess I will have to dig deeper then. Hope this is something consumer grade hardware supports. Currently my main router is a DSL-AC68U and my new one is a RT-AC68U. From my first impression of VLANs I don't need the...

    WAN throughput slower without NAT

    I recently added an RT-AC68U to my home network to create a subnetwork. However, after disabling NAT my WAN throughput dropped to 400Mbit (CPU1 100% and CPU2 60% load) from the recent 930Mbit (CPU1+2 at 100% load). Is this expected behaviour? Shouldn't disabling features increase speed rather...
