Hi,
I got a gigabit fiber connection (the ISP's ONT is connected directly to my RT-AC68U, which is using PPPoE with a specific VLAN tag) and in the recent firmware releases my WAN speed degraded dramatically.
Up until 380.68 I was getting around 900 mbit/sec from my connection, whereas from 380.69 on (including the currently running 384.4 beta3) I can't get more than 450 mbit with AiProtection disabled (380 when enabled, while Adaptive QoS doesn't really make a difference).
HW acceleration is obviously enabled (only CTF, since my RT-AC68U is one of the earliest units and it doesn't support FA), and disabling it nets me below 300 mbit speed, which is expected with this router.
I tried resetting the ONT, factory restoring the router, cloning the ISP router's MAC address, and every other possibly conceivable thing. Nothing useful in the connection logs - apart from the speed everything works perfectly, very decent bufferbloat, etc. The ISP's router (a locked down, custom Huawei unit) gets full speed.
I can't spot anything relevant in the changelogs of 380.69 or NG, so I can only assume it's something coming from Asus's GPL code. Any ideas?
Thanks.
