Hello,
I have Spectrum 300/15 service at my new home and I setup my network as bridge mode from the modem into an Asus RT-AC66R running Merlin 380.70; and upstairs I have a small home-lab setup with two servers, a large managed switch and pfSense firewall on a VM. It's alot of traffic locally, but I don't have a ton of bandwidth traveling out eth0.
I have setup Zabbix for my monitoring solution, and the ASUS router is constantly telling me that eth0 is "high bandwidth over 95% IE:
I'm not really worried because the speedtests I perform on my desktop and linux VMs still show up high 200s generally. I have had my servers slow down during downloads or updates before, and before I blame it on the virtualization IO; I want to investigate this router. I know I need to upgrade soon, and I will likely keep it for the 2.4GHZ/5GHZ and put another wired router in it's place.

ASUS Router 95% ), Severity, Warning" Interface eth0: High bandwidth usage ( > 95% )
So, my question is could this router that is supposed to be capable of running up to near gigabit speeds be maxing out the WAN port like it's reporting to Zabbix? Anyone else running one of these capable of monitoring eth0 bandwidth usage? I use QoS on the managed switch for everything upstairs, and the only thing that is before that homelab is a PlayStation 4, as I haven't had time to set it up in pfSense yet.
