I have ordered a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X-SFP and long-range, 802.11ac, PoE, access point. Since the EdgeRouter is WRT compatible, I can install that and get DNS running there too, which means that I can power off the old Linux gateway machine. I could have continued using my existing router as an access point, but the new one is longer range, higher speed, and easier to wire.
I looked at the Amplifi and it looks quite nice, comparatively priced with the option I went with, and very plug-and-play (with iOS/Android controls), but running WRT and DNS on the router was too good an option for me to pass up. Looks like the EdgeRouter can handle nearly a gigabit WAN throughput with some “buffer bloat” (essentially a bit of queuing delay) or about 200Mbit with SQM and very minimal delay, 550Mbit without SQM but still minimal bloat. https://forum.openwrt.org/t/ubiquiti-edgerouter-x-loading-openwrt-and-performance-numbers/27470/6 All those numbers are way beyond the bandwidth I’m currently buying, so I’ll probably use SQM https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm I just ran http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/49045641 and you can see that the delays are highly variable and generally suck! I’ll post revised scan after I’ve installed the new router. Thanks for all of your advice. ../Dave On Apr 26, 2019, 12:52 PM -0400, Jamon Camisso via talk <[email protected]>, wrote: > On 4/25/19 4:00 PM, David Mason via talk wrote: > > Is there an openwrt non-wifi, PoE router?
