I'm trying to get a device to act as a managed switch while at home, and a travel router with a tunnel back to my network while not at home. As such, wireguard performance is important as I'd like to have good remote desktop quality, high bitrate video streaming capability and acceptable file transf…

is CPU the only thing that matters?

[image] peuga: is CPU the only thing that matters? Yes, but in two ways. Raw performance is important, but so is cooling. If you look at the Wireguard performance database, you will notice that two or more devices can have the same processor, but show significant differences in Wireguard perf…

The Archer C6v3 will max out around 130 - 140 Mbps via LAN and 5-GHz-Wifi. I may have gotten >140 but that could've been on an AX23 (same CPU), not sure.

Help me gauge expected wireguard performance difference
