@jmandawg With CAKE SQM on my Belkin RT3200, I got max 450 Mbps (or may be even lower, around 420 Mbps, don't remember the exact number).

For higher throughput, you need to use fq_codel. Not sure what's the max limit is with fq_codel on RT3200 though.

SQM uses a lot of CPU but so does wifi on this router, so wouldn't that create a choke point if some wifi device is using a lot of bandwidth? I guess that makes the case for using a dumb AP and standalone router.
