Hey guys I was just curious I expect the answer to be no but has anyone seen speed issues with running DD-wrt on R8000 and not getting anywhere close to the expected speedtest? For example i recently was trying to upgrade to xfinity 1.2gb service and was only seeing a speed in the 700mb range. I have a netgear 2050V modem as well and when I switched to xfinity's modem got the 1.2gb speed. Just wondering if DD-wrt might be the bottle neck for the higher speed. Thanks.

nope its not DDWRT but rather the R8000 CPU...in fact 700Mbit range is very well for it...
for better performance either try to enable SFE /CT & FA (may need to restart once to appear)
or Get a more capable router like Netgear R7800 / XR500 or even R9000 or XR 700 may be
Dynalink DL-WRX36 would be the better choice consider the heat-sink issues with R9000 / XR700

other questions to arise:
-how do you measure speed wifi, wire, clients capabilities play role into it..
-did you enable SFE of CT&FA if your router has it...
-iptables rules that may also play a role into it and ect...
