    [RT-AC88U] Slow download speeds (buggy qos?)

    Thanks for clarifying. That was super helpful! On my router, there is a small red button next to the WPS button that you have to use a paper clip / pin to depress. I have been using that to factory reset the device. With the router on, I press and hold that button with a paper clip for 10...

    [RT-AC88U] Slow download speeds (buggy qos?)

    I tested 2 of the LAN ports. I also tested with wifi and it has the exact same behaviour. And just to rule out any kind of bizarre linux compatibility issue, I also tried it on my iPhone over wifi. Same deal. Resetting from factory defaults (I believe) over-writes nvram. I reflashed 384.10...

    I am having a very strange problem where my AC88U router appears to be throttling my download speeds. My ISP is webpass, and is supposed to get >=100mpbs. If I plug my laptop directly to the ethernet cable from the wall, bypassing the router, my download speeds are around 80-120mpbs. However...
