Hi,

I've recently upgraded my broadband to fibre, and am trying to determine if I need to upgrade my 2762ac.
From the specs I can see:
WAN2 : Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mb/s) Ethernet (This is the port I'm using for the Internet connection)
Firewall: Up to 300Mb/s max

So the WAN2 port is fine (1000Mbps), but the FW seems to be a limiting factor, does this mean that in reality the WAN2 port is limited to 300Mbps (with the FW enabled)?

Thanks.

Well, first of all what fibre package have you got ie, speeds down/up?

And have you checked with a decent speed tester?

Hi, sorry I should have said. My new package gives:
Average download speeds of 516Mbps
Average upload speeds of 36Mbps

Speedtest's show 280-290Mbps dl, max Upload 35Mbps. I've tried at different times of the day and this is the best I can get.

Okay, before you do anything else what about cables? You need at least Cat5E and preferrably Cat6 .

Yep, I have good quality TIA certified (RS Components) Cat6 patch cables all round.

I just asked a friend, he has a 4 year old ASUS RT-AC5300 and full gigabit fibre. He found his speeds were 50% down via the router vs. the ONT.

Turning off QOS fixed his issue, he is getting @ 900Mbps download.
