Re: [PLUG] Throughput Reduction thru Router

Does the router have IPS/deep packet inspection enabled? That can reduce throughput significantly if the CPU doesn't have the performance for wire-speed routing. Until I replaced it, the Unifi USG I had capped throughput to about 35 Mb/s with DPI turned on. Granted, it only could handle 50 Mb/s with it disabled, so there's that.

I recently ditched my Comcast xfinity wireless router and purchased my

might be gathering, plus it broadcast hidden SSID's on a channel I
wanted to use.)

Hooked directly to my new cable modem, I can get 350 MBPS, which
slightly exceeds my contracted 300 MBPS connection rate. However, when
I plug in my brand new router (to translate the cable modems address of
74.xxx.xxx.xxx to 192.168.1.1), I'm only getting around 95 MBPS.

It doesn't seem reasonable to me that the brand new router
(https://www.newegg.com/tp-link-tl-r605/p/0E6-002W-006W7?Item=9SIA7ABJSG5198)
would choke the throughput so much.

I've turned off all the "extra" features of the router, but this had no
impact.

Anybody got any comments, ideas, or suggestions?

TIA!
