I currently have a CRS-24G-1S-RM. Previously used with a 150MB internet connection. Today I upgraded that connection to a 1Gb\s link. Problem is when connected through the CRS, I’m lucky if I get 200 down\up on my WAN interface. I read something about enabling fasttrack to get better results and that did help alot. I can get 500-600 on average with a few spikes in the 750 range. But if I connect my laptop directly to the ISP’s gateway and remove the CRS from the equation I get 980 down and about 915 up.
So is it that the CRS can’t handle this type of connection? If not, what should I get to handle it?
CRS should only be used as a switch. The CPU is not powerful enough for that kind of throughput. Either a CCR1009 or RB1000 will handle that connection just fine.
Thanks. That’s kinda what I figured but I just wanted to get someone here to validate my thoughts.
The Europe MUM is in about a week.
With any luck there might be a CRS product refresh with higher powered CPU’s capable of routing the sort of traffic you are talking about 
I can recommend the CCR1009. I am running one with a 1Gb symmetrical connection, and it is running just fine. I run with multiple VPNs, NAT and firewall rules in place and it doesn’t break a sweat.
I typically see speeds of 850-925Mbps depending on other side of the speed test and Ethernet overhead.
