I've just signed up for a 30-day trial of Roadrunner Plus, which provides
15Mbit/s down and 2Mbit/s up. However, when I try to use all that available
bandwidth, the Load Average on my WRT-54GS running DD-WRT v23 SP2 spikes to over
4.50 and the throughput maxes out at about 10Mbit/s. I thought this might have
been due to my QoS settings, but I see the same results even if I disable QoS.
To its credit though, the box does keep up, and does continue to manage the QoS
admirably even with that load.

Can anyone provide any further insight? Do I perhaps need to upgrade to a newer
router with a faster processor and/or more RAM, or is this sort of traffic
simply outside the design limits of this platform?

Thanks,
Jon.
