Hello i need your opinion guys. I am upgrading my internet connection to 100/4Mb from 15/1Mb. I used to have RB751U-2HnD but that router didnt work that well, i had to reboot him regulary so i just swaped him for hEX Lite. And its working great.
But i could do new netinstall on RB751U-2HnD and see if that fixes it… but i just didnt come around to do that.
But now that im upgrading, i wonder, if hEX Lite will manage a 100/4 speed. And if i use WiFi i guess i would need a 5GHz network to fully utilize the bandwith i doubt that B/G/N will be sufficient.
Your actual router can manage that with fasttrack depending on how it is set and what functionality do you need to use. Maybe you don’t need to buy anything else.
I have aprox 20 firewall rules like port scan detection, limited access to open ports, etc. Can those rules be used with fastrack. I did not yet come around to explore the logic behind fastrack.
Just make sure that these two rules come very early in the forward chain:
chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection connection-state=established,related
chain=forward action=accept connection-state=established,related
These could probably just be the first two rules, unless you have a blacklist address-list, in which case, I’d say put the drop src-address-list=blacklist rule first, then the two above, and then after those, all of your port scan detection things. In general case, if you’re not getting a lot of new connection attempts (i.e. you’re not being scanned at the moment) then the fasttrack makes things go much quicker.
If you’re using queues, then that is not going to work with fasttrack.
