I swear this used to work fine before, but since at least a couple versions ago my AC88U started using 100% of one core while downloading preventing me from using the full gigabit internet I have. On Steam especially it will not go over 30MB/s and while it's downloading the rest of the network starts dropping packets, having inconsistent ping response times, and websites will stop loading. Torrents and single-threaded HTTP downloads will still run at close to 1gbit, but again with the 100% CPU and severe network instability.
The Sysinfo page says HW Acceleration is enabled and Switch control says CTF is enabled. Adaptive QoS, Traffic Analyzer, Game Accelerator, AiProtection are all off. The only things running are an OpenVPN server, afpd (Time Machine), some URL filters, and a program called VirtualHere on the jffs - I tried disabling all of these and it didn't fix the problem. top says one core is at 100% sirq while I'm downloading.
I tried factory resetting the router and then restoring the settings I had saved but that didn't fix it, I'm not especially looking forward to redoing all of the settings from scratch but if that's what I have to do I will. Next step is to try factory resetting without restoring settings and seeing if that fixes it, but I figured I would ask here first and see if anyone had any ideas before I go through that long process.
