Hi I've had a 6501 for a couple years now, and thought everything was great, but thinking back one thing did change for the worse when I installed this box. When I'm part of any kind of p2p "swarm", I can't upload reliably. It's so bad that I've rarely ever seen more than 20KBps per peer, and it's usually between 0 and 10KBps (5KBps is pretty average :o).
I did some testing this weekend, and tried out the latest stable pfSense on it (I was running Debian Sid), and things improved a bit. Now I'm using an RT- AC66U I picked up for $60 off a site called Kijiji (its like craigslist), and it's significantly better. Things in general, like connections starting, seem to feel smoother, but i have no hard evidence of that. Actual max downstream and upstream performance is fine (can saturate my 120/5mbps internet connection just fine) when in single streams like HTTP and SSH, but actual connection setups, and multiple smaller streams seem to have issues. What exactly could cause this? Has anyone seen anything similar? I'd like to not have to give up the $300+ appliance so soon :( -- Thomas Fjellstrom [email protected] _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
