    Hi, I've come across an issue with port forwarding not working when IPTraffic is disabled. My intention was to enable CTF to increase throughput. EDIT1: Ahh, further research shows NAT acceleration and port forwarding are incompatible. EDIT2: Why is it that port forwarding for TCP works, but...

    With the vodafone router I get 900+ Mbps downstream. ...But if I use my AC68U in its place and doing a speed test from the router itself I get only 1/3rd of that (slightly more than that upstream consistently for some reason). QoS is disabled - I even checked it was disabled in NVRAM. I'm...
