I don't know why Tomato can't use the hardware acceleration, so I can't comment on it.
However, while I agree that the router can be limited in performance if you use certain features of it, I wouldn't say that's particularly out of the norm for most electronics out there. From my experience, the QoS on the device isn't worth the performance penalty anyway (I've never found it to be particularly good).
Care to recommend another router that will do 700Mbit+ WAN-to-LAN with QoS and in the same rough price range as the Asus?
