Wan performance of wrt1900acs vs Netgear R7800

[ACwifidude]

My build is built to maximize the R7800’s performance. It activates the two NSS hardware offloading cores (official OpenWrt builds do not). With those additional CPUs the R7800 can support full 940mbps speeds wired and upper 500 mbps / low 600 mbps wireless (~30% improvement).

Well, was also checking forum for ac1900v1 ... but seems all threads are dead,
is there something existing with the best performance ~1gbit/wan? thanks

Via an “all in one” the main 2 options are WRT32x and ipq8065 devices (with NSS hardware offloading).

Currently, x86 or similar custom solution will afford you more speed and latency control.

So you have 500Mbps-1Gbps fiber and need a router READ THIS FIRST

It's such a frequently asked question over the last few years that we really need a post we can point people to. So your cable company rolled out 500Mbps or 1Gbps download speeds, or you have 1Gbps symmetric fiber (GPON/EPON) from ATT or Centurylink or Orange or whoever. You realize your old all in one router from 2009 is not up to the task of handling this, but hey by now stuff should be cheap and available that will handle your new fiber connection right? So you want advice about a router for…
