R8500 WAN speed 1/2 when Traffic Meter enabled
Observed Issue: When Traffic Meter is enabled, upload and download speed are unable to get more than 500Mbps even tough I have 1Gbps internet. Disabling the traffic meter restores the proper speeds.
Desired Result: Traffic Meter should not impair download or upload speeds.
Firmware: V1.0.2.134
ISP Speed: 1Gbps up/down
Steps to Recreate:
1. Login to router
2. Advanced Settings -> Advanced Setup -> Traffic Meter
3. Enable Traffic Meter, wait for router to restart
4. Preform speed test, note results
5. Login to router
6. Advanced Settings -> Advanced Setup -> Traffic Meter
7. Enable Traffic Meter, wait for router to restart
8. Preform speed test, note results
Note: I had a similar experience with the R7000, and it was corrected with a firmware update.
