Hello! Your setup shows a difference in speeds depending on the connection method. The RT-AC68U can indeed handle 1Gbps, but it might not always deliver that speed when connected via Ethernet directly to the modem. This could be due to network configuration or routing settings. Check your router's settings and ensure proper configuration for optimal performance.
Congratulations on achieving 1Gbit! I'm currently stuck at 400Mbit. It seems my firmware might not be updated yet. Is it still current?
Do you have the newest software installed? The last official update from ASUS came in May 2019, which is quite current. You might also visit https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/
