BE9300 Terrible Performance w/o Network Acceleration, or w/ Features

[ehidle]

I just took my new BE9300 out of the box to replace mt MT6000 to fix this very issue, only to find that the BE9300 has it WORSE than the MT6000.

First, we must have parental controls enabled, because our kids will not voluntarily turn their stuff off and go to bed. If you have kids, you know what I am talking about.

So, we have 2gbit fiber, and here is the speed we can get through the BE9300, down / up:

NA Enabled: 2gbit / 2gbit

NA Disabled: 1.5gbit / 1.5gbit

NA Disabled, Local PC Enabled: 600Mbit / 400Mbit

Here is what we got with the MT6000:

NA Enabled: 2gbit / 2gbit

NA Disabled: 2gbit / 800Mbit

NA Disabled, Local PC Enabled: 2gbit / 800Mbit

======

It looks like PC is absolutely destroying network performance, regardless of the number of managed devices, and had no noticeable effect on performance on the MT6000.

I see some other threads about PPPoE, and we do have PPPoE, but we have no issues getting our rated speed.

Any thoughts or ideas, or known workarounds for this? I’m a little disappointed that a $200 router has to disable crucial features just to be able to pass a standard residential pipe.

Hello,

I noticed that you also posted some feedback about Flint2 in another thread.

We are very sorry.

GL-MT6000 Upload Limited Without Network Acceleration

Hello, Unfortunately, only one of these two functions (network acceleration and parental control) can be enabled. Truly sorry. Because after network acceleration is turned on, the network packets are not processed by the CPU, but by a separate acceleration chip; the parental control needs to filter and process the network packets, and it requires the network packets through the CPU, so network acceleration requires to disable. You can set up another router as the main router for adults to use…

When your ISP bandwidth exceeds 1Gbps (higher network speed is required), hardware acceleration needs to be enabled; but when some network control functions are also required, we have to disable hardware acceleration and let the CPU process these network packets so that features can take effect.

Flint 3 does have broken acceleration (both HW ans SW doesnt work well), however try to enable packet steering under Luci :
