look for new router

[tsunami2311]

I been thinking about replacing my AC66U lately again Cause I can no longer keep QOS with 200mbits teir speed. cause it disable CTF

I been looking at the AC3100, cause it 1.4ghz dual core. Which has Adapative QOS which also allow CTF from what I am reading, Will this router be more then enough to push 200mbit? and will it be up to the task of 1gbit when why isp gets?

I dont wanna be play time for router every time my ISP upgrades it speeds special when these routers are 200$+

i would look at say the asus rt-ac86u as its got the latest 1,8ghz cpu and lots of ram and should run your 200M line with qos with ease , the 86u also has the new E series broadcom wifi chipset with much better wifi coverage

What is your interest in QoS when such high ISP speeds? Is it a WiFi thing? Or still have limited uploads? I know on my current connection, I have QoS completely disabled...I am not sure I can even remotely impact the performance of another system on my network from another system.

As for not wanting to spend $200 all the time to try to keep up? Then build your own system. Get a router that routes. Get an Access Point that does nothing more than bridges. This allows for the freedom to upgrade each independently as technology changes or a device fails. My "router" costs less than $100 3 years ago (when I had 100/20 ISP) and it is still chugging along nicely after several speed bumps (now at 1000/1000).

upload is still limited to 35mbit, and it wifi thing i dont want multiplie clients at once downloading at 50+mbit all at once.

before I got 200/35 tier I had 100/35 With traditional QOS cpu on router was bottleneck at 100~110 mbit router cpu hit 100% which made sure that even if 90% bandwidth was used pings was not effected it would even limit speed to devices with lower priority if there was other higher prority device on the using the network. I had to disable QOS when I got 200/35 now i used bandwidth limiting in to keep things in check, so all wifi device are limited to 15/15 which has done good job of keeping ping in check,

Thing is i noticed 200/35 wired pull pull like 55-65% cpu load which always did, and but 15/15 wireless pulls 65-85 some time 100% load on the cpu, even when the wifi device isnt limited it pull that much cpu load which i never remeber seeing that high load for wifi most device barely pull 50mbit when not limited anyway. and at that kind load i see the whole network start to slow down and we not talking about bandwidth is saturated I talking with just 1 wireless client pulling 15/15 the router it self start to bog down to the point where i see websites taking longer to load, even the router has 3+ second delay when change config pages.

This is new I didnt know about this router look like it not shipping in USA yet, Found only 1 place selling it and they want 189$ for never heard of the bestgear site though

having a separate AP to handle wireless may help. Leave the router to only routing/firewalling.

Only available in China so far, and Asus never replied when I asked them if they had any plans to offer it outside of China, so who knows if/when that would happen.

Plus the stability issues plaguing the GT-AC5300 would most likely currently affect it as well (same codebase, same hardware).

we get it here on the 11th of sept along with the lyra and dsl-ac88u , still no time frame here on the blue cave though

I would go for the ac88u or a little cheaper ac87u
They are both dual cores and so far my own testing they do fine ( I use ac87 with media server and it runs just fine )

If you want LAN ports then go for the ac88. It's expensive but worth it if you ask me
