Internet speed issues with Asus RT-AC68U

[VaultBoy]

Hi,

I've recently upgraded my internet connection to a 1Gbps speed (1Gbps/50mbps up). I've connected the modem to my Asus AC68U router running the latest firmware and it has some problems achieving the full speed of the network. When running a speed test (speedtest.net or DSLR), I constantly get a 250Mbps download speed, and full 50Mbps upload speed. I was able to get the full speed once or twice but I mostly get the low speed. I don't have that problem when I connect the modem directly to a computer.

I don't use the firmware QoS, and all of the network cables connected to the router are pretty new (CAT5e or CAT6).

Is there a configuration or setting that blocks the router from utilizing the full internet speed?

Thanks.

You with Rogers? Did you try factory reset router.

You do have NAT acceleration enabled, right? I think you pretty much have to for those speeds.

Yup, I'm with Rogers, and resetting the router worked (I tried to avoid,cause it was configured so nicely...).

Thanks!
