Who still uses D-link 850L for turbo 800Mbps?
I think mine is bottle-necking and can only get max 300Mbps when direct download. Using cable of course.

Latest firmware 2.10TM.
Wifi, firewall, qos, and ipv6 are all turned off.
Direct download tested using IDM fetching from centos mirror, microsoft iso, and google drive.

The weird thing is, running speedtest is consistent at 840-850Mbps.
Torrent speed is also good at 600-700Mbps.

I tried plugging laptop directly to the ONU hg8240w and connect using windows pppoe. Yeah no problem getting full speed for direct download.
So definitely something is wrong with the 850L.

I'm confused why speedtest and torrents are fine, but normal http download was bottle-necked  :confused:

Since Linksys & Netgear Nighthawks are rare here, only D-Link & TP-Link can rival Asus here. High performance, AI Mesh, AI Protection & traffic reports are Asus's selling points.

Since I can't justify the price, I opt to use multiple (including used) routers as wired access points around home & a Raspberry Pi to handle other functions.

I use my Pi 3 B+ to run ntopng network traffic app, Pi-Hole to block ads & malicious sites, and Grafana as network dashboard.
