I’ve never looked into that fasttrack, I’ll do some research now. Connection tracking off helps a lot.

That can reduce CPU usage quite a bit depending on what the routers are doing. Is that CPU % at peak time? If so I would look at upgrading some.

I’ve got a few links that don’t seem to go as hard as they should, but I can’t find the reason. The routers are MikroTik and the radios (also highish cpu) are ubnt with plenty of airtime free) Hmmm, That’s another question, at what Airtime % will you start to see impacted performance?
