DD-WRT and LEDE speed cap

With DD-WRT i get close to 850Mb down with LEDE I get close to 800Mb down. Is there anyway to get close to stock speed which are http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6836226806

On stock with wifi i get over 700Mb down with ddwrt or lede 400-450.

What are your speeds LAN

What are your speeds LAN wired when speed testing. It's not recommended to test wireless as wireless has many variables that can cause inaccurate results. 

Test with any QoS disabled first.

Wired i get up to 850Mb down

Wired i get up to 850Mb down on DD-WRT and 800Mb with openwrt. Assuming DD-WRT is slightly faster due to shortcut forwarding engine. With stock firmware http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6839454376

Looks like OEM FW is going to

Looks like OEM FW is going to be the best bet. I presume the OEM fw has HW NAT accelleration enabled thus your getting 900~Mb. This will be the limit of this and most other routers, regardless of FW and 1Gb ISP speeds.  

3rd party FW may not be fully tuned for 900~Mb and thus you may see some differences. I would use what works best.

I guess i would have to compile openwrt from linux to do qualcomm fast path which is hardware nat?

Might see if LEDE already has

Might see if LEDE already has a build that would work or a package that could be installed on LEDE. I know that OpenWRT and LEDE are FWs that have customizable environements where you can install them, then there is a menu listing of all the packages available that you can install after the fact. Big list too. You might ask over on the LEDE or OpenWRT forums about this...
