I just updated from a 300/30mbps setup to AT&T fiber. I am running NGINX on my AC68U and proxy several web services (including a web file server and Plex) to a backend server which is connected at 1 GBps.
If I run a speed test from this server (using any of the big speed test providers), I normally get in the range of 450-850mbps up/down. Depends on the time of day, but I haven't seen it below 450.
I am not using the AT&T gateway, I am running wpa_supplicant with the private certs directly on my AC68U, so we don't need to worry about any equipment other than this.
I have also run some test between this PC and another PC wired to the AC68U and file transfers (via SMB) range between 750-880 mbps (about 110MB/s).
I believe this shows that the AC68U is capable of routing (at least over my LAN) at GB speed.
I realize that the AC68U is not capable of full GB throughput to the WAN, but my speedtests out to the internet show that I should be able to sustain at least half of this.
However, when any remote clients access my services they can't seem to download at a speed higher than 60-70mbps, with many of them closer to the 30mbps mark.
This is true regardless of their download speeds. In fact my father's house on FIOS was seemingly only measuring about 90mbps down from Ookla, but only measuring about 50-60 down from me.
Alternatively, a friend who was getting 250mbps in his speedtests were only seeing 20-30 down from me.
If I download over http between servers in my LAN I see approximately 70-80MBps (5-600 mbps). However if I open a port forward direct to these services and attempt to download directly over the internet, the remote clients get about 1/10th of this speed.
Is the RC68U really throttling these speeds to this extent? And, if that is the case, why is it able to achieve such high speeds on the speed test?
