RT-AX56U VS AX58U

[IPbasher]

I used same Settings. Is there anything in the settings that must be disabled in order to get faster speeds beside of the VPN Settings?

And is an "safe" overclocking possible what can be done?

Any Setting changes to get faster speeds beside VPN Settings and custom config

According to ARRIS marketing the bcm43684 runs at 1.5ghz on the radio SoC. I guess they're both technically "quad core" devices heh.

Considering they are both using the same Cortex A15 and they were released at approximately the same time, it's unlikely to be different.

An easy way to compare them is to run a basic benchmark (i.e. openssl11 speed -elapsed -evt aes-256-gcm) and compare the results.

Only easy if you have both to test with.

RT-AX56U:

RT-AX58U:

The 'numbers' are in 1000s of bytes per second processed.

They're identical (well within the margin of error).

And for reference, a CPU with AES acceleration:
