So this one is basically the same platform as Linksys WRT1900AC series?

same SOC yes - but different connectivity - more flexibility

I just did a speed test inside a WG tunnel using two routers: ASUS TX-AX6000 (mt7986A) and ASUS TUF-AX4200 (mt7986A). Connected both via 2.5Gbit ports (cable 10 meters).

Also shoutout to you @fakemanhk for the initiative and keeping it alive and updating the new data points impressivly fast :pray:

With irqbalance enabled it pushes upto 841 Mbits/sec

(irqbalance, WED, packet steering, without nft flush ruleset ):

It's lucky that you didn't post it a week earlier, was super busy with my work and I didn't have much time to update :stuck_out_tongue:

This is interesting, initially I did that on some of my devices and almost no difference with irqbalance/packet steering at all

I don't fully understand the scripts. If I have an existing wg interface already setup (wg0 for me), what are the commands I can run manually to mimic the benchmark?

I recommend you to ask the author using the GitHub link I provided, but I don't think it's a good idea to use something already in production to test with??

Boot Openwrt off a flashdrive, instead of messing with a working environment.

But this way doesn't work for normal home routers, only suitable for x86, or SBCs

indeed, I (incorrectly ?) assumed @darksky was using x86.

I am using x86/64
