I'm using the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND with Backfire 10.03.1, flashed directly from the original firmware. My connection is establed using PPPoE.
I bought the WR1043ND because, according to this chart and this site, it's able to put through the full 100mbit/s my ISP provides me with.
But in tests (for example speedtest.net) I'm unable to get more than 60 - 70 mbit/s downstream. The upstream is absolutely fine (50 mbit/s). Also, when I connect my computer directly to WAN, I get what I should: 95 mbit/s downstream.
Is there anything I could do to improve OpenWrt's throughput?
Further information:
* I'm using luci-app-qos, but disabled it in the admin interface
* I also tried it without having OpenVPN listening
