Hi,
I've upgraded my internet from 120 Mbps to 1Gbps.
ISP modem directly connected to the laptop through cable shows 950 Mbps - good enough.
I have changed the ISP modem to the bridge mode and connected my good old AC88U to it.
1. Now Internet speed test from the QoS tab shows a max of 500 Mbps.
2. When I connect my laptop using cable - the speed is maxing 500 Mbps as well.
I've read multiple articles here, the majority being about HW acceleration, here's the screenshot:
That leads me to think that AC88U cannot really handle the 1Gbps speed and it's time to upgrade.
Before making the decision though - would be great to grab your opinion as maybe the router is capable but I use some wrong settings?
Cheers!
