What is the True Gigabit routing setting ?
-
Page 28 of the User Manual states:
"This will increase the through-put of the WAN-LAN connectivity of the router."
-
What truegigabit does is provide almost full gigabit throughput between the LAN and WAN/interface. So if you happen to have an ISP that's giving you say 800Mbps you would want that feature enabled, otherwise then you will get more like 100-200mbps since SPI and other things will create overhead.
For most people the option really won't do much since the router is perfectly capable on handling the load.

TrueGigabit would help if your wired network devices had gigabit ethernet hardware in them. This would be for instance if you had a wired network with computers that had gigabit ethernet cards in them and a network attached storage device also with gigabit capability on the wired network, then you would have super fast backup.
Gigabit also refers to bandwidth: if you have 10 computers streaming 100 Mbps each, you now have 1 Gbps streaming through the router.

You know that makes no sense to me lol, as I KNOW what Gigabit is...
