Not getting 1gbps on Ac88u

[obkhan]

Hi All,

I have virgin media's 1gig connection on hub 4.0. I am using the hub as modem and Asus rtac88u as the main router. Problem is that the speed test within asus' gui shows only 500mb at max. I tried testing the speed with the hub in router mode with my laptop in safemode with networking the speed went to 950mb and the xbox goes to around 850mb. I dont understand why the asus' router shows only 500mb. I have checked the cables (using cat 6) and all are fine.

Thanks

Processor in the router likely can't handle those speeds.

Built-in speed test is CPU limited. Test with wired device instead. This question was asked 100+ times already. Your router can do Gigabit only in light configuration with no QoS and TrendMicro components enabled. It's an 8-years old device on End-Of-Life list. You need something better.
