Hi All... Not sure if this is a spdMerlin, general Merlin firmware, RT-AC86U, or other issue. However, when I run a speed test from the UI itself, I'm only seeing about 1/2 the bandwidth (or less) I should be at. I have a 1GB connection through Xfinity... if I hook up a laptop directly to my modem, I get nearly 1GB speeds. When the AC86U is hooked up to it, I see results ranging from 350Mbps to 530Mbps when it runs its regularly scheduled tests through spdMerlin. I have it testing only my WAN connection, and is picking up all local servers. I'm seeing similar results using the firmware built-in speed test, but when I have a laptop hooked directly into the router via ethernet cable I'm seeing advertised speeds. I'm not using any wifi connections when doing any of these tests.
I have QoS disabled... For HW Acceleration, my runner = enabled, and flow cache = enabled.
Does anyone else have similar issues? Is there anything I can do to increase this bandwidth to get closer to the advertised range? Or am I looking at needing the AX86U?
