wireguard speed?

[boxybh]

iperf from site1 to serverwin10 iperf site 2 on win10
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 4] 0.00-30.01 sec 308 MBytes 86.0 Mbits/sec sender
[ 4] 0.00-30.01 sec 306 MBytes 85.6 Mbits/sec receiver

site 1 160Mbps down 194Mbps up
site 2 497Mbps down 276Mbps up

both are static ips

copy file from site 2 to site 1 in windows 5-7MBps 20Mbps-42Mbps

wireguard mtu set at 1380 previously 1420

cpu usage during iperftest on site 1 55 to 73%

mikrotik 750gr3 sw version 7.9.2

??? what am i missing

I think that’s the CPU limitation of the hex. I was also surprised by WG speeds on a hex. It’s because WG traffic which is also encrypted, needs to be processed by the CPU. Offloading your WG tunnel onto another device, or getting a more powerful router/CPU should solve this

same thoughts here. thinking to keeping a 4thgen above intel pc with linux or windows to offload the router. This is because i have been reding that even the expensive routers still don’t have that much juice to cater todays great fiber speeds of internet for wireguard or vpn
