What's the cheapest and best consumer (or similar priced) router that can ACTUALLY fucking provide full WAN/LAN bandwidth?

I have 1gbps fiber connection, my ISPs provided router is decent enough to get me full speeds over LAN, but buffer bloat is 300ms+. All the consumer routers ive tried so far have been shit, the 2 different Asus routers I tried maxed out at like 400-500mbps over LAN.

So am I building a custom Pfsense box or is there actually a decent router out there that can provide the performance I need without spending $1000+ on some Cisco shit.

I guess it wouldnt matter if the downloads went straight to the ram but do you have storage that can even write that fast? And The open wrt routers from linksysbare pretty good
>>
>>61024407
Yea I've got an NvME SSD that can write at 1.5GB/s, my bulk SATA SSD is 400-500MB/s, hell even my 5TB hard drive writes at 175-200MB/s.
1gbps is only 125MB/s, most drives should be fine with that.

Also, the linkysys stock firmware I've already confirmed won't give full WAN/LAN bandwidth.

A used enterprise grade router or server running pfsense might be my best choice.

I would give it a shot with DD-WRT. But to be honest, you need a beefy router hardware wise to keep up with 1gbps full duplex.

I already have decent wifi speeds, that's not really my concern since most client devices (like your phone or laptop) are only equipped with 2x2 radios anyway, which will max out below you reach 1gbps even if you have a $20000 wifi access point.

Top is 4G LTE, bottom is WIfi in this pic.

>>61024726
Get any flagship router, Asus, Linksys, etc
>>
>>61024776
Already tried, none of them will provide the requisite WAN/LAN speeds.

I'm not even talking wifi here, they simply aren't gigabit capable over WAN.
>>
>>61024787
Nigger when you get 1Gbps internet, it's not actually 1000Mbps. Try plugging the cable directly into the motherboard, you're never gonna hit 1000. The closest I've got was 968 without a router.

yeah, not gonna work.

>building custom PFSense box
yeah, that's how you do it.

none of the consumer routers out on the market right now really support gigabit WAN to LAN routing with filters - most just cheat by using cut-through forwarding, which limits how you can mangle your packets.
>>
>>61024814
Nigger, I know that. Look at the OP picture, I can hit 945mbps.

My issue is with WAN/LAN speeds, NO consumer routers I can find right now are capable of providing more than like 600mbps. Nowhere close to the 1gbps max.

Yeah, 1gbps is really highlighting just how much bullshit marketing these companies rely on.

Disable any "NAT boost" or beam-forming. They hog away some bandwidth even when you're not using WIFI
>>
>>61024863
I'm already using the router as a bridge with wifi disabled, all traffic monitoring and QoS are also already disabled.

>>61024845
The RT-AC5300 is one of the few consumer routers i've seen that can get regularly 900mbps for WAN/LAN and LAN/WAN traffic. My biggest concern with it is Asus shit firmware fucking it up with later updates.

What I really want is that hardware without the wifi radios.
>>
>>61024899
>that hardware without WiFi radios
then get a router and separate APs. ubiquiti are.pretty good enterprise gear and not too pricey
>>
>>61025123
Already have the APs, they're Ubiquiti as well.

However, from what I'm gathering, even the highest end router they offer maxes out at around 600mbps WAN throughput.
>>
>>61024369
Wtf?I live in a chink country(Singapore) and my 1GBPS although cheap (35 usd) rarely gets to 900+.Its usually at 500
>>
>>61025228
that's because you dont have real 1gbps.


You share a 2gbps fiber link between probably 60+ other people.


I share a 2gbps download 1gbps upload fiber link between 4 other people.
>>
>>61025296
Damn,no wonder it was so cheap.
>>
>>61025385
Yeah, though for the US mine isn't exactly expensive.
