I own an ASUS RT-AC51U. On connecting to the modem it reaches 120 Mbps as per the contract. Using the router at full capacity drops to 90 Mbps and isn't stable. Both my Cat6 cables deliver 120 Mbps with the modem, but not with the router. I've checked the settings and haven't adjusted the speed yet.

I think the main board is the bottleneck. Make sure the Wi-Fi card supports speeds over 100 Mbps.

AC51U supports only ports with 100Mbps bandwidth.

Are you referring to a specific motherboard model or are you asking about the router?

It seems the issue might be more than just a weak router.

That's accurate. The restriction applies at the port/hardware side for both WAN and LAN. To maximize your internet performance, you should use a wireless router equipped with gigabit WAN and LAN ports.
