Using RT-AC68U on 500mbps here.
No issue achieving 500mbps on LAN. Just my WIFI only about 400mbps, need to do some tweaks.

Yes bro. Was just replying zainuddin80 because he's having trouble achieving 500mbps with the same LAN cable on the Asus router but not Dlink router, which is weird.
And thanks will try the wifi settings.

Was very close, only couple inches away. On 5ghz but auto wireless and auto channel bandwidth. Will test with AC mode and 80mhz soon.
Wifi device was just a 2x2 built-in.

Will do bro. And thanks for sharing info about the channel.

Surprisingly bro. I didn't change any setting yet and did the speedtest on wifi again. Still on auto wireless mode and auto bandwidth/channel.
Managed to get 500/100 across different servers.

Yeah same device, nothing changed.
But have to say, LAN will be able to get 500/100 on servers that wifi can't. Which is weird since wifi is definitely capable.

Found a setting which is causing most Turbo users to get slow torrent speeds, on uTorrent at least.

Should I share it here, or post a new thread. Or both. (May help users on other ISP)
Or not at all.

Slow Torrent Speeds on Turbo? Try this if you're on uTorrent default settings.

These steps are for uTorrent (Windows). But the settings should be similar for other torrent clients/OS.

Basically in uTorrent's Options --> Preferences:
Bandwidth: Untick 'Apply rate limit to uTP connections'
BitTorrent: Untick 'Enable bandwidth management [uTP]'



Tested on the CentOS torrents, top seeded torrents, public and private trackers.

My speed with default uTorrent settings:


My speed with the above uTP settings:


Although the speed still can't max out my 500Mbps turbo, the increase is significant enough and a welcomed improvement.
If there are any other settings to improve the speed kindly share.

Of course bro. He's asking what's the site Doraku mentioned in his post.
I'm just listing the site here.

Also on 500Mbps with RT-AC68U here.
And also using a NUC with AC 8265.

Can achieve 500Mbps on WiFi.
How far is your NUC to the router?

Overkill probably yes. Vs CAT5e I noticed some speed difference. But vs CAT6 there wasn't any.

But still I'm using Cat7 as well because as you said, price gap is just a few cents or couple of bucks depending on seller. Using Cat7 for both BTU-to-router and router-to-PC.
