I've noticed that when I do large file copies between two wired systems (SystemA and SystemB) that my Wifi access to the internet is slowed.
These system are connected to LAN ports 1 and 2 respectively, which are GB ports. My file copy software reports speeds of about 108 MB/s which translates to about 865 mbps.
Count in the overhead of SMB traffic, and I am probably pretty close to saturating a 1 gbps connection.
However, this being a switch that traffic should be isolated between those two ports.
Looking at the router CPU/memory when the copy is going it does not appear to be near critical capacity.
But, when this copy is happening, all my Wifi traffic - even that straight from the Internet is slowed down horribly (i.e. a file that would normally take < 1 minute will take 2 hours).
If I introduce an external switch and connect these two system to that switch, then connect it into a port on the ASUS, I do not have this issue.
Is this a pure hardware limitation on the Asus?
