MR7350 Clarification

Does anybody who own a MR7350 can confirm to me it has a CPU MHz of 1800? I am looking for a router that can support 300Mbps under a Wireguard VPN, and it says on the OEM website that it has a 1.2Ghz CPU. Am I misunderstanding something or the Openwrt website needs a fix? Thanks.

I suspect 512 MB Memory on the MR7350 is not going to be enough for VPN. Have you looked at using a PC as a router?

IPQ6k (the SoC used in MR7350) can do almost 500 Mbits/sec over WG - A Wireguard comparison DB - #353 by dr-m.

It says 1.5Ghz, so correct me if I'm wrong but it means it has a CPU MHz of 1500 and not 1800?

Ghz/MHz doesn't really have anything to do with performance, a SoC running at 1GHz could outperform one running at 2GHz...

As for your questions, it appears to be running at 1.5GHz.

Alright, Many thanks.

Not really but I think it would do fine based on similar routers found here. I also don't really have a old PC laying around nor think the cost of running it 24/7 would be worth it.

scroll back to the 1st post in the thread I linked to earlier, those WG results are recent.

That test is done from the inside one router to the inside of another router, it is not LAN - WAN - LAN. I have seen this type of internal router generated testing produce higher numbers than real world results.

sure, it's not a real world test, but it gives you an idea about the WG throughput for each device ...
