I have an RT-AC66U running 378.56_2. My internet speeds were just increased to 230/24 by my provider. The problem is that when I have QOS turned on the best the router will do is 110/24. QOS is turning off NAT Acceleration which I guess is vital for these speeds. If I turn off QOS then I get my full speeds, but I need to run QOS because I have 15 devices on my network including streaming cameras and VoIP devices that must maintain a steady data rate.

I have played with the priorities and adjusted the upstream/downstream settings in the router but nothing I have tried works. Even if I take every device off the network except one computer and I assign that computer the highest priority I can not get the full bandwidth that I get if I simply turn QOS off.

Is there anyway to run QOS on this router and still get the full bandwidth that my provider is supplying me?

Thank you!

Overclocking may help, but ymmv. Some later models allow NAT acceleration along with QoS, but that may not apply to wired connections, which act like QoS gets bypassed. @RMerlin please clarify if my comments are in error.

3200 and 68P should both be able to do handle QoS at your link rates without overclocking. They run about 25% faster. (68U, however, may have issue just like you currently are facing)

I have never looked into over clocking. Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to do it and just how far is safe to push the CPU on this router?
