Is this bug present in upstream Merlin releases too?
Don't really know, I think yes.
Describe the bug
When I activate Wireguard VPN, even if no client is connected, my internet speed inside my network drops from 940mbps to 450mbps with speedtest. If I disable Wireguard VPN I get 940mbps again with no problem.
I read about an optimization of Wireguard in newer versions of firmware but on other models.
It seems not to be a HW problem or limitation as they said that: "Thanks for all replies! With the new official 3.0.0.4.388.22068 firmware the problem seems gone! I get full 1 Gbps from clients outside the VPN and 400-500 Mbps from clients inside. So in the end it didn't seem hardware related."
Thank you

I was about to post a throttle bug on my XT8 (RT-AX95Q). My speed upgrading to 388.1_0-gnuton1 dropped from 940mbps to about 300mbps. I read your post, turned off the wireguard server and immediately it bumped back up to 940mbps! Temporary solution I'll setup a wireguard server on a raspberry pi behind the router.
after upgrade to 388.1_0-gnuton1, I got same issue on my Ausus Router TUF-AX3000, speed dropped to about 300mbps if wireguard server is running, when wireguard server turned off, the speed resume back to normal 900mbps.
This is because NAT acceleration gets disabled when Wireguard is in use. Something about a proprietary broadcom implementation of flow cache not being compatible with wireguard. You can confirm by checking out Tools > Network > HW acceleration. Speeds are limited to approx 350mbps without hw acceleration.
