Friends I have a weird experience with my Asus router. I have a Unifi Turbo 500Mbps plan and my router is Asus RT-AC55UHP and with a CAT6 ethernet cable the max speed i get is less than 250Mbps, i launched a complaint with Unifi and they sent their technicians to check and the guys who came to check the issue suggested to used my stock Unifi router which is Dlink DIR-850L and to everyones surprise i was getting 500+Mbps speed with the Dlink router.

So here is my confusion i thought the Asus RT-AC55UHP was an advanced router as compared to the DIR-850L and the technicians from unifi also agreed but none of us were able to say why the ASUS router cannot even reach 300Mbps while the Dlink obtained the speed with no issues. Any thoughts on this guys. FYI i have tried resetting my Asus router and configured it fresh but it still cannot reach the speed above 250Mbps. Is it an issue with the router itself?

I checked and it has the latest firmware which is 3.0.0.4.382.50702, i have been having various issues with this router since i have bought this.

QOS is disabled on my router by default.

Tried it and now i get speeds upto 320Mbps from my earlier speed of less than 250Mbps on this router, but no where near the 500Mbps mark but the default Dlink router consistently hits 500+ Mbps.
