Slower Gigabit Internet Speed

I have gigabit internet now, I get like 930mbps through the modem and like 600-800mbps through router with only 1 device hooked to it.  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it was just a setting issue. Thanks

Re: Slower Gigabit Internet Speed

Are you connected through ethernet or WiFi for this test? Have you put the speeds you expect in the Anti-Bufferbloat bandwidth settings?

By any chance have you got antibufferbloat set to always? If so it will limit bandwidth as that's what it is meant to do by design. Try setting it to when 'High priority traffic is detected' and do another speedtest, its a case of fine tuning the router for your needs.
