Dead link.
Did you look at the guide that I posted?
I have seen that before where the program supplied from PIA is super fast but the router is not.
1.4ghz cpu should easily get you 50-60 mb/s
Do you have a buddy that has a different ISP then you?
if you do maybe test it at their place. You can't blame the router if you haven't tried all angles.
I have a feeling either you have a misconfiguartion somewhere or you didn't flash the router properly by doing a factory default after putting Merlin firmware and cold booting the router.
You should be getting over 20mb/s without breaking a sweat with that router.
