Hi. I upgraded from my AC68U last year and have been pretty happy with my AC5300 until this past week when I got my Synology NAS. During data transfers, albeit huge transfers, CPU 1 runs at near 100% (while CPU 2 runs at 2%) subsequently halting all other activity wireless and wired on the network. The network is small and even with one PC trying to access the internet it's impossible during large NAS population transfers. I should say that wireless transfers to the laptop from the NAS had CPU usage near 100% but wired transfers to the laptop from the NAS had CPU usage around 50-60% but even at that range it still killed concurrent wired PC internet access. Thinking the AC5300 was pretty future proof I'm disappointed with the CPU boging down as it is, is there a recommendation to get something that can handle NAS transfer activity and not render the network useless? Oh and yes I could limit the transfer speeds with QOS but speeds are only about 25-32MBs anyway, in no way blistering so I wouldn't want to slow them down anymore. Maybe my AC5300 settings are whack so open to suggestions.
Thanks.
Thanks.
