resolved by removing the mac address on the WAN configuration of the N66U. managed to hit 800mbps. not ideal but it's a good start. will leave it to another day to find out what am I not hitting 900+mbps.

guess the N66U is really struggling to push 1gbps on WAN 100% CPU for just running speed test

lol yeah it is! previously you mentioned direct ONT was 400/300. any ideas what caused the low rates?

N66u is limited la - invest in ac68u or wait for ac87u

There's at least one forummer here who said N66 can reach 900+Mbps (I think it was @Just Me but cannot be 100% sure). I've always been curious to know what is the routing throughput limit of N66. Can you try the test with latest RMerlin firmware?

i am on N66U Merlin

 

[newbish]

anyone knows what firmware is recommended for Asus AC68U? stock but updated can do?

what's the main difference between stock vs merlin?

edit: finally got connected to MR!

Direct ONT

Wireless 2t2r

quite happy with the results

 

[alamakazim]

does that mean I need to upgrade to ASUS RT-AC68U

for 1Gbps..?

Not necessarily, as imacbie has shown above.
He is using N66U.

yup, very satisfied with it. going to try to borrow a 3t3r ac device to test on.

wah.. like that... why they don't bundle together...

 

[alamakazim]

Yeah, that's right.. N66U (merlin f/w) no issues with getting 930-940Mbps for MR. Even my friend's N56U (padaven f/w) can achieve this speed.. using belden cat6 cables..

there is physical no router voucher, the router price is automatically offset by 100 when u sign up.

 

[alamakazim]

RT-N56U good enough for 1gbps?

or at least better esr9850
