Ok, all of my residential clients are now getting 300mpbs download speed from the cable company. They all have the rb750gl. With the rb750gl at best they are getting around 240mpbs download. They want to get the full 300mpbs speed. Which router can a use for them that will be the least expensive and give them 300mpbs download?
My second question is, how do you read the performance tests at the bottom of the router pages? I'm not sure what each category means. For example, 64 byte vs 512 byte vs 1518 byte. What are we measuring when doing a download test, and how do you know which "byte" stat to look at?
Thanks.
Re: 300mpbs and Routerboard
I recommend the RB850Gx2, it's very quick for its price.
The bytes refer to packet sizes. Download tests will usually use full sized (1500B) packets. Which to look at you have to decide for yourself, it depends on the real world packet size mix this router will actually encounter. Also, those are stateless results without connection tracking, which may or may not reflect your use case. Stateful performance is at most half of that, probably closer to one third.
Still, in my iperf testing with 512B packets the RB850Gx2 achieved about 300mbps with active connection tracking and one MASQ rule.

Re: 300mpbs and Routerboard
Thanks. The thing I am concerned about is I have a feeling the cable company is going to start offering 600mpbs and even 1000mbps speeds soon. Which would be the best router for these type of speeds?
Re: 300mpbs and Routerboard
This router can be a better choice because includes wireless.
http://routerboard.com/RB951G-2HnD
It can reach 300mbps. It is also overclockable to 750Mhz, stable.

Re: 300mpbs and Routerboard
So the 850g2 should in theory be good for 300mpbs wan to lan with no problems.
What would in theory be good for 1000mbps wan to lan with no problems?

This one is about 20% faster than the 750gl,so, not fast enough.This router can be a better choice because includes wireless.

Barkas,
Do you think the 850g2 will do 1000mpbs wan to lan when it becomes available?

Iperf result was 950 MBit with one nat rule and 1500byte mtu.Barkas,

Still, with 1g I would go with the 1100 or a small ccr.
Or with ubnt edgerouter if you want to go that way.
Re: 300mpbs and Routerboard
would the CCR1009-8G-1S do the trick?
