Wan speed slow

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

i installed internet from local internet provider it comes with a gpon ont and a fiberhome router and it works great , my plan is 1gbps for 40lei=8,03 eur

but i wanted to test my old router (TL-WR1043N V5) with open wrt to see if i get lower ping or more stable ping in games
so i did a fresh install of 23.05.5 updated all the packages and then went to configure the ppoe i entered the user and password and left other 2 on auto and didin't change any other setting and this is the speed i am getting

i found searching online that if i go to network ->firewall and enable software flow offloading i get better speed

the router has 1gps wan and lan but idk why i don't get the speed ?

That is just the switch fabric, you can use this router as a 5 port 1 Gigabit switch if you use it as a bridged AP.

There are options to oversome these limitattions - albeit it might bring more issues long term - like SFE or software flow offload. Try ddwrt if you really want 1g with your current hw (although I don't recommend it personally)

Hey friend, please read this topic to you understand...

So you have 500Mbps-1Gbps fiber and need a router READ THIS FIRST - Hardware Questions and Recommendations - OpenWrt Forum

I think DDWRT will not do any better regarding software flow offload.

I do recommend DDWRT at least for select Broadcom routers (e.g. the Northstar family), those have hardware flow offload an can do 900 Mb/s LAN<>WAN throughput.
It uses the SLTS supported K4.4 and has many of the popular goodies :slight_smile:

You can try to add fw4.uc ruleset.uc and jump-mssfix.uc from firewall4 github.
Also related to performance (on top of master)

(20Mbps added for each con C7V5 which is like 2x yours or so)
