Hi Guys,
I am trying to setup OpenWRT (19.07.3) within virtualbox under win 10. I have two nics - one acts as WAN and second as LAN. Both nics are VBOX virtionet bridge to two separate physical nics.
I have i5 3470 4c/4t 3.2GHz CPU / 8GB RAM, all vitual stuff enabled. Installation was easy and straightforward, system is up and running.
The 'only' issue is throughput/CPU usage on download....
I have 250Mbit download/30Mbit upload ISP connection.
Testing connection directly from OpenWRT is looking great:
root@OpenWrt:~# ./speedtest
Speedtest by Ookla
Server: FIBERLINK Sp. z o.o. - Krakow
ISP: FIBERLINK Sp. z o.o.
Latency: 1.88 ms (0.12 ms jitter)
Download: 248.82 Mbps (data used: 263.0 MB)
Upload: 29.75 Mbps (data used: 33.1 MB)
Packet Loss: 0.0%
Result URL: https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/144b71ce-8839-41fe-81a1-9e85659b04af
But when connecting from my LAN, i cannot get more than 67Mbit download, and get 100% CPU usage on OpenWRT/VM. Upload is fine: 30MBit, low CPU usage....
Results: https://www.speedtest.net/result/9753048588
I guess bandwith is limited by CPU usage...
Moreover VBox Guest Additions cannot be installed... /but guess it won't help/.
Is there anything in my config that i may change to get more throughput / lower CPU usage?
