ASUS GT-AXE 16000 Not doing 10Gbps, am I missing something here?

[rursache]

It was the data sharing agreement withdrawal disabling 3rd party TrendMicro components. This way you lose big part of firmware features, but get the speed back. What Asus is not telling you - it's "up to 10Gbps", not "guaranteed 10Gbps". The actual CPU processing power is about 400Mbps only. Everything above is NAT acceleration in form of Broadcom's Runner and Flow Cache. They are affected differently by different firmware options enabled up to complete incompatibility. 10Gbps ports on this router are part of the marketing. It's marketed AXE16000 (16Gbps) and has to have 10Gbps ports to match the theoretical maximums you will never see in real life.

thanks for this. i had the same exact issue!!

10gbps from ISP, the router was doing 1800-1900mbps at most... i did withdrawal from both data sharing agreements and instantly went to 6500mbps.. after a reboot i'm now at 8000mbps up/down, stable. maybe i'll toy around with it some more to get closer to the ISP cap but it's unbelievable how the router is kneed down this hard by some BS features most don't need

some BS features

The features are okay. It's the marketing advertising maximum possible speeds without mentioning they are not achievable in common expected configurations. The same marketing is not even mentioning some of the features are actually from 3rd party company which requires data sharing agreement. This is the reality and not Asus specific.
