I have a 500/500 mbit connection.
My stock ISP router easily achieves 500/500 with my computer connected over LAN (sometimes even surpasses it).

But if I connected my NETGEAR R6700v3 router flashed with DD-WRT v3.0-r44191 std (08/15/20) to the ISP router LAN port, then connect my computer to the DD-WRT router, I can only get around 400/400 (sometimes even less).

I noticed that with QoS on in DD-WRT, even though it was set to 500/500, I only managed to achieve 300/300. Now that I have disabled QoS, the speed is still only 400/400.

What could be going on here? Is the R6700v3 too weak to handle this speed?

many threads on the same subject...
with few words, try to turn SFE on, or buy a new router,your router has a max WAN speed limit, due to its CPU...
Better routers, with faster CPU's, deliver better performance.... next level router R7800 will do better...!

People wonder why a lot of the "older" Broadcoms run a 2.6 kernel in stock firmware. Prime example.

One thing, though. You are not telling us if you are connecting your DD-WRT to a separate modem or to your ISP router/modem. Double-NAT **WILL** make a difference.

Thanks guys, it worked! With SFE on I get closer to 600 mbit!
