Asus AC68U speed drop compared to direct modem conection

[Magnus33]

Ok this one got me stumped

If i connect directly to the modem my speeds as advertised 150/15

If i connect the modem to the router and then to the pc it drops down to 95/15

No one else is on the network at this time.


What am i missing?

Latest Merlin firmware 384.5 for the AC68U

Are you running any processor intensive services such as QOS, VPN, parental controls?

 

[Magnus33]

Thought of that and made sure everything was turned off.

No vpn no qos no network protection and no parental controls.

have you check the ethernet cable used?

 

[Ronald Schwerer]

When you connect the router to the modem, do you put the modem in pass-through (bridged) mode? You could be getting double NAT processing.

Bloody hell brand new cable and it turns out to be only working at a fraction of the speed it was rated for.

Guess it has to happen once ever ten years or so sheesh.

Thanks folks this turned out to be a cable failure which iam going to go outside and burn in the fire pit lol
