Hardware and Performance / abysmal performance on fitlet
« on: December 25, 2018, 09:05:55 pm »
Just set up opnsense on my fitlet for my parents. Only seeing about 20-70Mbps. They're paying for 300Mbps from Optimum. The old Asus RT-N66U can push about 150Mbps. Back when I ran the fitlet, with pfsense (since migrated to opnsense, figured because of the BSD base they should get around the same performance), I could get to to go to around 500-600Mbps.
Don't understand how a box with a quad core 1-1.6Ghz x86 chip (A4-6400T) is getting outperformed by a dual core 600Mhz mips box. Know it can't handle gigabit, but for this purpose it should be enough. Not running anything fancy, just doing basic NAT. Any ideas on what might be happening?
