and for those who wonder, as with any residential connection it's only "guaranteed" to the gateway everything else is best effort. An I3-9100 or I5-9500 based system might do slightly better (50% more cache/core and a bit more clock). Generally, Multi-Gig home and SMB routers, including top-tier ones, do not have enough to deliver true 10Gbps (10,000Mbps) throughputs. It’s is just the fact that this whole post feels more like a classic “I need the biggest fastest hardware I can find because it is cool” but the router actually suggested in the first place in the first message isn’t a 10Gbit device and the person is still satisfied with that hardware.

Asus RT-BE96U (Wi-Fi 7): 2x 10GBASE-T Best multi-Gigabit routers: The Asus RT-BE96U comes with two 10Gbps ports.Just to be clear what you’re saying is that all Wi-fi 6 routers can connect to the internet directly, bypassing the need for a separate modem? Fiber the AX6000 is today enough, but isn’t future proof for the next fiber upgrade due to lack of 10Gbs ports.

The transfer speed from my MBP16 to the NAS over wifi is still averaging 75-85MB/s over wifi, only it seems this router leaves the old AC88U in the dust.NAT is handled by the CPU and the RB5009 is capable of NAT routing about 5GB to/from WAN, depending on amount FW rules and queues apllied. To deliver (close to) true 10Gbps, a router needs more than just a couple of 10Gbps Ethernet network ports. The place is big enough (about 125m2 but with thick walls, not airy) that the router alone won’t cut it to blanket the apartment in reliable wifi. Depending on your WiFi needs, either one would be a future-proof addition to your home for years to come.

The real bottleneck is the Linux or FreeBSD kernel - that is why Netflix had to heavily modify the FreeBSD kernel to support their CDN nodes and Netgate implemented the stack in software for TNSR. I tested it beside the TP-Link Archer AXE75 with many high-end specs, but the performance was superior. Anyway, I’m waiting my 2500/1000Mbs GPON Fiber here in Italy scheduled in October, I can’t wait to move from a 60/20Mbs DSL! Best multi-Gigabit mesh system: The Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12, like the ET8, includes two identical Wi-Fi 6E routers. router and I’m looking for a replace with an Asus GT-AX6000 or GT-AXE16000 or the new GT-AX11000 pro or something else.

I enabled the firewall and all ports (aside from 80 and 443) show as "closed" as opposed to stealth. The point of the post you yeah-butted was that the OP can't expect to run a single iperf3 client across the router, all set up with the good strong filtering RouterOS allows, and expect to fill the 10G fiber upstream. Better benchmark tools vary the packet size transmitted throughout the test against some distribution. And if that power simply isn’t enough, you can add other AiMesh-compatible devices as wireless range extenders or backhaul nodes.
