I'm paying for gigabit speed, but when I run speed tests on my hardwired PC I see speeds of about 600+mb/s which then drops precipitously to about 400mb/s, which is about the speed I see when downloading a large file.
My last download had my router's CPU load at 90% with speeds of 370+mb/s. I guess that's the issue, but why would CPU usage be that high? All other devices are using next to no internet and the max throughput of this router and the LAN port I'm connected to easily exceeds 1gb.
Do I just have too many devices connected?
