Doesn't know if it's related the openwrt or not but ever since I Installed openwrt, my download speed kind of drop down for some reason. The speedtest shows i am still able to reach 100+ Mbps. But if I download anything from Google drive or anywhere my download speed just limited at 4 MB/s.
I have checked the router ram usage and cpu load looks normal.
The speed went above 10 MB/s then goes down to 3 MB/s. Before openwrt I can download 12 MB/s just fine.
How do you connect to your ISP and:
Mainly Wifi, but i also have LAN connected to PC, have the same problem.

I apologzie for not being more specific:
Cable, fiber,adsl, wireless..
How do you connect to the internet?
And what device gets internet directly with a public address?
So, some sites download a 100Mbps, while others download at 4MB/s, is that right? First thing I would look into is IPv4 vs IPv6: try to disable WAN6, and check the speeds again.
Fiber -> ISP's router (Bridge mode) -> My Router (Clone MAC Adress)
Do you have any device specific VPN you can enable and then try to download from Google?
The only thing I would change in your config is the 160width. I'd bring it down to 80 (for many reasons) but since you have the same slowdown on ethernet it cannot be the problem.
I'm thinking you are getting throttled.
And please run a speed test both wired and Wi-Fi from... ...whomever you prefer and post both results.
Do you have any device specific VPN you can enable and then try to download from Google?
Yes, i tried VPN and still the same.

When downloading the speed is limited to 4MB/s but I don't see increasing latency. It's some sort of QoS which is strange cause I don't have QoS in my openwrt. I think somehow my OpenWRT throttle my bandwidth to improve bufferfloat?
Tried disabling WAN6, still the same.
No need to worry about that. You would have to set it up.
We are going to try @eduperez's idea and shut down IPv6 by going to Network/Interfaces/Devices->configure.
Edit every device by going to the bottom of the General device options and disabling IPv6.
lol, the timing..
How did you disable IPv6?
Deleting WAN6 in network interface and disable this also did it on lan too.
On the Status page of LuCI (the main page) how many devices have IPv6?
And please go here and post the results but remove anything personally identifiable.
The DNS Leak Test is a tool used to determine which DNS servers your browser is using to resolve domain names. This test attempts to resolve 50 randomly generated domain names, of which 25 are IPv4-only and 25 are IPv6-only.
Yeah, I don't know how they get IPv6 DNS lookups but my IPv6 is shut down at the router and I get the same results. I was just looking for something irregular.
Please use LuCi's Status/Realtime Graphs/Traffic eth0 (I'm assuming that is you wan port) and keep that page open and download from Google. See if the traffic in the router matches what is sent to the lan.
Because it's your DNS server that has IPv6 Internet access not yours. The test shows your ipv6 of your DNS server not your Internet. Your DNS server is able to receive the address of the ipv6 website. DNS server is just simply giving you the address of the website not for actually accessing a site. But you can't connect because you don't have ipv6.

Can confirm i have plugged my pc to the ISP router and i have the same result. But my ISP claim that they don't throttle tho. It's not the OpenWRT. Although it could be the cable issue first time i plugged it was registered as 100 Mb cable not 1 Gb, but it got recognized as 1 Gb after i replugged it again.
I've had that happen on factory made cables.
