  • I have other issues with opnsense lately but it has some sort of bufferbloat mitigation that seemed good enough. On the 1000mbps from isp I get 0ms latency increase at the expense of like 100mbps, or 0ms average with some spikes with a 50mbps loss. Can it be done without any download reduction?


  • How is x86 openwrt? I’ve been on opnsense but my APs are openwrt and maybe I’m remembering wrong after a long time of not touching the management page but I could have sworn it used to detail what rate cables connect at and it doesn’t seem to any more without unrememberable shell commands, and at some point my lan domains stopped working, among other minor annoyances I could also swear are new since my absence.


  • Man it doesn’t even feel like that long ago that my mind was blown by 100mbps. Also blown over how I just made a bunch of cat5 (not e) patches for my brother’s brother printer and other non gigabit devices and he mixed it up with the 6a and connected the computer and it seemed to actually work at 2.5gbit. Still put the proper one in though as I can’t trust that and wpnt always be around to babysit it.

    One vote for mini pc router with poe wifi ap. When I first set it up I had a tp omada wifi 5 and switched to a yuncore/kuwfi wifi 6 ap flashed with openwrt and I didn’t even have to touch the router config, although I did so the new ap would get the same ip as the old one.

    As a path to ease in I was also considering keeping whichever of my older tomato and openwrt routers was more powerful processor wise with the wifi off and using the standalone APs as an upgrade to wifi5/6, but the used pc with 2.5gbe and 10gbit sfp+ came into my possession cheaply so I went for it.

    PC router has opnsense though. I haven’t tested x86 openwrt. I also got it cheap because the sfp nic didn’t work, warning of checksum error but I fixed that using intel eeupdate (have to pirate/have nda breaker friend) on a portable windows 10 install.
