<br/>
and pretty sure I have everything I need disabled. (I'm using WAN2 with a BT FTTP connection, and not using the onboard DSL)<br/>

Hi Mgillespie2,<br/>
<br/>
You should check out this video:<br/>

<br/>
It might shed some light on your issue(s).<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I have a 2862 also, running the latest 3.9.9.2 FW and it has been operating fine with Hardware Acceleration enabled. <br/>
WAN2 only enabled (WAN1 disabled) and on a 550Mbps Virgin ISP line. I consistently record 530+ Mbps on every speed test; have done for months now.<br/>
<br/>
One thing not mentioned in this video, and not in any other document, is that I experienced a restriction of 250Mbps when using a ‘Default Rule’ in the Firewall, for WCF. When I removed this WCF rule, the speed returned to full throughput, although that WCF issue was on a 2927ax model.

Hi, yes sorry, the link wasn’t all there. I have updated it now, and yes, your one is the same link.
