Skynet Internet speed lower with Skynet on

[poudenes]

Hi All,

Is it normal that the internet speed drops when you have Skynet on?
Here it drops from 1Gbps to 320Mbps.

If there is something I can do to improve this so the speed will go up again let me know.

AIProtection is also on. Disabled it didn't changed the speed.

I can saturate my symmetrical gigabit connection and get 3.3Gbps+ wirelessly using Skynet and Diversion. I hope this puts to bed any future misconception these addons can affect your network speeds. I think your issue lies elsewhere

 

[poudenes]

Seems that AI Protaction drops the speed by half... Is there something else that I can use what will work better?


This is the speed when AIProtection, Skynet and QoS is off

No, QoS and/or AiProtection does, cut my SpeedTest results in half when I run a SpeedTest on the router. Didn't impact the clients (wired or WiFi) clients don't get impacted as drastically if at all.
Yes, run a SpeedTest on the clients and not the router or take a brute force approach and withdraw "Router web GUI > Advanced settings > Administration > Privacy" and or selectively not use the features that impact your SpeedTest results when run on the router. I have found that enabling any native router function that load the BWDPI engine (AiProtection, QoS) will impact your results at the router, then again you can ignore those results and run these SpeedTest on the clients where it matters and where the CPU isn't bogged down if you want/need those features.

My AX88U 1GB Fiber 945Mbs, with AiProtect/QoS 1/2 of that. Wired client 945Mbps regularly (depending on SpeedTest server), Wireless 5Ghz/160Mhz about ~650Mbps depending on SpeedTest server
