router performance

This tag covers router performance issues as they affect Windows users, focusing on the router's CPU as a potential bottleneck for broadband connections. Discussions highlight how features like QoS, security inspection, content filtering, VPN hosting, DNS ad blocking, and USB file sharing can load the router's processor, but not all impact traffic equally. Practical guidance emphasizes distinguishing a router throughput problem from Wi-Fi limitations, such as signal strength or channel congestion, before adjusting settings. The content is useful for troubleshooting slow network speeds and deciding which advanced router features to keep or disable for better performance on Windows systems.
