Solved GT-AX6000 2.5G LAN Port - only negotiating at 1G on switch

[Tech9]

Does the BE86U or BE88U do any better?

Probably not. They have broken bwdpi engine to begin with.

You hit it the nail on the head. I had all Trend Micro features turned off, but I had not withdrawn. After I withdrew from the agreement, the speedtest result on my PC shot up to 2 gbps on the DL. ugh. Kinda interesting that a built-in feature prevents another built-in feature on the router from working. Does the BE86U or BE88U do any better?

Hmmm. I do not currently have >1GBps internet, but am considering it and have the same GT-AX6000 Main Router on my mesh network.

Is this a known/confirmed issue/bug with a device (such as a PC) connected to the 2.5G LAN port i.e. you have to disable Trend Micro (and withdraw) for it to work at 2.5G as advertised?

Yup.

Did you find if there was remaining feature active or just the fact data sharing agreement to TM wasn't withdrawn was causing the weird issue? All AiProtection, Traffic Analyzer, Apps Analyzer, Adaptive QoS, Parental Controls and Web history use TM bdwpi engine. AiCloud, AiDisk, ASUS App, ASUS DDNS, Auto Upgrade, etc. (may have missed something) require additional data sharing agreement to ASUS. Pinpointing the exact cause may help other folks with same model router. It's a very popular device around.

I thought I had disabled all TM-dependent features, but looking back at the settings, I think Traffic Analyzer was still enabled at the time I withdrew from the TM agreement. Besides Traffic Analyzer, I have only ever used Parental Controls, Web History, and ASUS DDNS. ASUS DDNS continues to be active even after withdrawing, so its not dependent on TM. I've found that the Time Scheduling portion of Parental Controls (which is the part I used) is also not dependent on TM. But the filtering portion is. My guess is that any thing that requires sniffing internet data requires TM.

I'm not sure that the ASUS app, AIDisk, AiCloud, and Auto Upgrade would require it, but I've never used those and never expect to have an interest in those, so I'm not going to bother to find out.

BTW, I am still enrolled in the ASUS agreement, so there is no need to unenroll from that to get full speed internet.

This is the data sharing agreement to ASUS. It's unrelated to TM features.
