RT-N66U PPPoE low throughput

[iotzan]

Hello!

I've just got a 1 GBps line installed and the RT-N66U is falling short of expectations.

I've updated to both RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.35_4 and RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_374.35_4-sdk5 (current), but I am getting, at most, 23 MB/s down, 3 MB/s up.

I'm not expecting max speeds, but even the laptop with which the technicians tested the line went up to ~550 Mbps.

Can anyone help me out on this one?

Regards,
Iotzan

I've also installed RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_354.29-BETA1 which brings me up to 47 MB/s down, 4.5 MB/s up.

A little bit better. Any further recommendations to improve my speeds?

I think you'd need hardware acceleration to achieve those speeds already, but it's worth making sure it's enabled anyway.

On a side note - I'm very jealous of the fact your internet speed is 23 times faster than mine.

I guess that I somewhat resolved the issue with RT-N66U_3.0.0.4_354.29-BETA1. After changing some more firmwares, I got back to it and after a reboot I'm getting 85MB/s down, 14MB/s up. I guess this will have to do, though I am not sure what I can do about the missing dual WAN in this release.
