RT-AC3100_384.3_0 tanked speeds, RT-AC3100_380.69_2 brought them back up again

I am not sure if this is just isolated to my hardware, but I am on gigabit speeds and I normally hit around 880mb/s down. After the 384.3_0 update for the Asus 3100, I immediately lost half of my internet speed (around 350mb/s). I downgraded back to my older firmware 380.69_2 and it returned my speed back to normal.

After both flashes, I did the 30/30/30 rule of resets (I think that is what it is called).

Thanks for the amazing firmwares and hope this is just isolated to me.

This sounds similar to the speed reduction people see when hardware acceleration is turned off. Might want to check that if you end up flashing back to 384.3

I had the same issue on my RT-AC68U after upgrading to 384.3. Like you, I went back 380.69_2 and speed was back to normal. Like you I will just wait for the next update. I really do like Merlin's software and the frequency of the updates.

This trick dont work with ASUSwrt or merlin
If you want to wipe everything , there is the method:
Turn off the router, press the WPS button , then turn on the router. Wait about 15 seconds, then release the WPS button. Reconfig from beginning, dont import old settings.
