    Upcoming ASUS ROG Gaming Router: GT-AC5300

    Its telling that the product page says nothing about the Encryption accelerator feature. aside from that, the cpu speed would certainly help openVPN, but only incrementally. If the router mfgrs are looking for a reason to sell us the latest desktop antenna farm, then solving for slow encryption...

    Upcoming ASUS ROG Gaming Router: GT-AC5300

    https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/ROG-Rapture-GT-AC5300/ Looks like we’re finally seeing an ASUS router with the BCM4908 Router SoC. I couldn’t really care any less about most of the features of this Router+CPU, save for one thing. Dedicated security processor to enable hardware VPN...

    Disable Guest Network when dual wan in fail over mode?

    I have a client that needs always-on internet for a small business (for PoS transactions). I suggested a 4g dongle for him connected through the router in fail over/back mode. This is fine, but he also provides WiFi for guests through the guest network feature. When in fail over mode we don't...

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    So just to wrap this up for posterity and those walking this path in the future. In regards to a stock ac68 and routing speeds. It seems to handle the full 1 gbit connection just fine. Testing is a bit tough because these kinds of speeds are on the edge of what can be accurately tested these...

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    Nice, thx rango....err wait, just read it. That first page was semi useful, but the rest it wend down a rabbit hole of VM/PFSENSE/Networking/Comcast/Powerusage..... I think I got it.. 50-60mbit is to be the expected CPU limit for AES-128 encryption @ 1ghz cpu. Too slow for me. It would be...

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    Dixit that's great, just the type of question i had. thanks! As for the VPN, 100-200 would make me thrilled but i'd never expect that much. It is all about the CPU from my understanding and there isn't a consumer grade router that has the horsepower to come even close. Perhaps you can offload...

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    Yup, I get that, I am under no illusion that I'll never really see the true speed of it. I've even considered wrapping the entire thing in a tunnel. With that much to spare, who cares right? The scenario that would push it is accessing storage from the house, where that new connection would...

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    Yeah... that is the part that worries me. 40% * 4 = 160%CPU. I know it doesn't really scale like that, but throw in wireless processing overhead and other router functions.. It is really looking like i'll be maxing this thing out no matter what. It might be time to start looking at a dedicated...

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    I did, but that was also from 2013 (and with the slower BCM4708A processor) and I know quite a bit of work has been done with the software side of things since then. I know this unit is on the edge of feasibility, but was hoping for some recent first-hand accounts.

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    ...And I know this isn't merlin FW sepecific but I am running and have been running his code for years on my routers. I know he's done a bunch of OpenVPN work recently so I figure that it would be best to stick it in this sub forum. Like i said, i expect to have to offload the VPN connection to...

    AC68w/u 1000mhz - Reasonable expected routing speeds?

    This is a question about the ac68 routers (with the newer 1ghz processors) and speeds. I'm in Seattle and one of the ISPs are rolling out some gigabit FTTH in my neighborhood. I eagerly signed up of course, but its caused me to take a look at my infrastructure. Like I said above, I've got a...
