Hi all, I installed openwrt on an x86 mini PC on Monday and migrated off my old setup Tuesday. So far everything seems to be working ok, the migration went ok and didn't get too much grief from the family.
This is my first time using openwrt so I just wanted to sanity check my setup and check if there was anything I should consider doing differently at this stage. The only reason I'm asking is that I'm seeing something I've never seen before when running SpeedTest. Sometimes it comes up saying that my internet could be unstable.... I've tried enabling/disabling software offload otherwise it's basic install.
I've tried to diagram out the setup with the main info that I can think would be useful.
Any feedback would be great
Thanks
Spence
Nothing in your diagram looks unusual.
Try other speed tests... maybe that particular speed test is reporting something incorrectly (or maybe they're trying to sell you something, who knows).
Are you seeing any practical issues? If not, you usually don't need to worry.
If you'd like, we can review your config files:
Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Hey, thanks for the replay, here are my config files.
There's nothing obviously wrong, throughput is fine as is streaming TV etc...

Your config looks fine... pretty standard.
Are you experience any actual issues, or just that (odd) message you got from one of the speed tests?
Nope, no observed issues. Things seem to be running really nicely, it's just an odd one that as a first time user I just wanted to make sure I'd not done anything wrong.
Thanks for taking the time to help.
