Stock runs at 1000 MHz. I wouldn't go higher than 1200 MHz. Execute these commands:
nvram set clkfreq=1200,800
nvram commit && reboot

For my own reference when looking back.
I've set the clock to 1200,800 & rebooted it just to see.
A speed test from the router page gives 45.13 Mb/s internet and 174.87 Mb/s Wifi.
An ookla speedtest from a pc on the lan but going through powerline adapters to another room and a mikrotik gigabit switch it gets 184.25 Mbps Download, 77.54 Mbps Upload.
I need to reset clock back to stock and then do the firmware reset & reconfigure before starting again.

Keep in mind that powerline adapters will be a bottleneck. You have to be directly wired to the router's switch to test wired throughput.

Yes of course, that is understood.
I am testing the router's speeds from a LAN port. What the clients get will be of course what the PLAs, wifi, etc. allow.

I am up and running again. After I reset to firmware and reentered all my setup settings and after the dnsmasq part, I ended up with no internet from lan or wireless. I thought I had a routing problem and ended up breaking the default bridge. Luckily I was able to reset to firmware again and start over. This time I re-ran the stubby installer, I think some symlinks were maybe lost.
Then when back up and running, my tests report these values:
SFE on, laptop wifi 5G:
Download: 114.26 Upload:35.61 ping: 5 ms

SFE off, laptop wifi 5G:
Download: 113.27 Upload:32.81 ping: 5 ms

SFE off, laptop on lan:
Download: 349.27 Upload:77.67 ping: 5 ms

SFE on, laptop on lan:
Download:474.35 Upload:77.38 ping: 5 ms

Overclock still on to 1200 MHz. Replaced cat 6 for cat 7 cable from ONT to the router WAN port.

Therefore SFE has an observed benefit. Unfortunately YAMon now as expected, broken.

Thank you for your help. I now need to see what can I do about monitoring and how to get the most of the bandwith on machines connected via PLAs.
