My WNDR3700 V2 running gargoyle has been chugging along well in my network for several years. Recently the the newest generation of "high power" routers has been catching my eye so I decided to try a couple, namely the Asus RT-AC87, and the Netgear R7500. To my surprise, in my network which is made up of mostly hardwired gigabit connections running on a 15/1 dsl WAN both of the "new" routers seem to be VERY poor at handling QOS up/down compared to my 3700V2. I am assuming it's the QOS features of Gargoyle that are enabling the 3700V2 to outperform these new hardware "powerhouses"?
Am I wasting time and money trying these new devices? (if it ain't broke, don't fix it?)
Is this just something I'm doing wrong?

Compare the cpu performance of those routers and you will see why... Openwrt has a page detailing the cpu performance of different SoC.
