Some R1's may vary as with any router on the market on how the it's built. Someone with an R1 may get full or close to full 1gigabit speeds. While another, will only obtain, 450mbps. It all varies but 500 I would say would be the sweet spot. But also depending on the amount of network connecting or devices/clients on your network can also reduce to at the lowest 400mbps. All and all, you should be fine. Ghost-Inside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 You won't be able to use QoS at 600 mbit. I have 580/500 connection and I will achieve those speeds in superturbo mode, but if I turn on QoS in turbo mode it drops to about 430mbit. This was on old FW though, not DumaOS.

I think turbo mode is on by default, super turbo mode you have to enable yourself and this also disables QoS. With over 500mbit of bandwidth I would get a XR series router though.
