Trend Micro is limiting my speed

By withdrawing consent you are in effect also disabling DDNS, Remote Connection (ASUS Router APP、Lyra APP、AiCloud、AiDisk), AiProtection, Traffic analyzer, Apps analyzer, Adaptive QoS, Game Boost and Web history. Are you sure it is not any of the these features that is throttling you and not AIProtection?. Also you state you have firewall enabled, is this just the standard one or skynet? Because I'm also wondering if it could be a country block causing the throttle? just some thoughts I had for what it's worth. Can't see how it could be cabling or ports if it's ok with consent withdrawal, has to be a setting, somewhere in the above causing it. Possibly take another look at your qos settings (which you state is off) and make sure gamebooster is off and webhistory is off.

There are 2 different consents to withdraw, and DDNS is a separate one. AiProtection one covers: Protection, Analyzers, Adaptive QoS, Game Boost and Web History. In my case I didn't have QoS, Web History or Game Boost enabled anyway.
I've tried disabling Traffic Analyzer via terminal (SSH with PuTTY), that didn't help.

Firewall is standard, I have never customized it, just turned the firewall and DDOS protection on. Right now, Trend is off, Firewall + DDOS protection are on and I reach the proper speeds, so that rules that one out.

I haven't any custom scripts or addons running, only built-in things.

Reading through this thread, I see that you have used Merlin and Asus firmware. I have not seen that you have done a factory reset with initialize at any time nor manually reconfigured. I suspect you are using an old config file which will continue any old issues.
It would be a good idea to flash Asus firmware, reset with initialize and power cycle. Then do a manual configuration with just the minimal settings. Do a speed test before and after you make just one change. If it is OK move on to the next change and so on.
There could be a hardware problem but it is unlikely.
A Hard Factory Reset is also an option...
But, you really need to do a reset after going from Asus to Merlin firmware or back to Asus.
I have done this many times and can flash, reset and configure a router in about 15 minutes. The family can wait that long!

Will do, thank you for your advise. I'll update my first post for now and will update once I get to it (not the coming days due to work scheduling).

Ah...work...a four letter word! Retirement is busy, too. Lets see...what am I going to do tomorrow. Ah, it is Friday! Fishing, bike ride or yard work?

Interesting, well let's see if the hard reset brings any joy.

I would not bother with ASUS DDos protection, and leave it on the default off, as per even the Asus website below enabling it is just likely to slow your network further with very little to gain, a home user is very unlikely to suffer a full on DDOS attack and even if they did this setting will be unlikely to mitigate it:

ASUS router uses following methods to detect suspicious attack.

1. SYN-Flooding Protection : Only allow one TCP/SYN packet to pass per second.

2. Port Scanner Protection : Protect router from port scanning via external port scan tool

3. Ping of Death : Only allow one ICMP packet(type 8) to pass per second or drop the length of ICMP packet over 65535.

Even if this feature can protect it from suspicious packets pass, the home network still have chance to be paralyzed by DDoS bonnet attack due to bandwidth can't effort massive packets. DoS protection can help system to be restored after paralyzing by DDoS attacks and at least keep LAN to LAN service working if system is not overloading.

Infact before doing the hard reset have a run with AI on and DDos off, just to rule out any clash of the titans there.
