Re: RT-N66u not capable of 300mbps?

Documentation suggests it should be able to handle that speed however posts on other forums say the cpu is too weak.

Has anyone else got the same router working with 300mbps?

If not, can anyone recommend an upgrade that can support 300mbps (and ideally be further futureproofed for the next upgrade... )

Lee.
Sounds like the H/W acceleration is turned off?

The same issue is mentioned here: http://www.snbforums.com/threads/rt....nnection.9425/
and here http://www.snbforums.com/threads/hw-...-rt-n66u.9888/
and here http://www.snbforums.com/threads/doe...ections.23216/
so I don't think it is a settings issue.

It seems that using certain functions cause HW acceleration to shut off and without HW acceleration this router seems to be limited to a WAN speed of about 230 Mbps. Now that more and more people are getting internet connections faster than 250 Mbps they are starting to notice this.
What firmware are you running?
