I'm not sure if you're asking about the old or new device -- either way openwrt are on both. The reason I went with the gl.inet device in the first place is it comes preloaded with openwrt...
Ah, preloaded. So it might not have the standard openwrt kernel? That might explain the performance then, if they ship it with the vendor provided kernel with packet accelerator patches then you'll see great performance. I for instance have a broadcom device here that has 3 different levels of performance (kernel has broadcom patches and userland tools to interact with accelerator). All numbers with a few sessions of iperf3 tcp test (unidirectional): ~200 megabit/s - all acceleration turned off ~1000 megabit/s - flow cache turned on, packet accelerator turned off wirespeed bidirectional (or close to it) - full acceleration with flow offload If you get an MT7621 based device you see similar numbers for the first two above regarding if you turn on FLOWOFFLOAD or not in latest OpenWrt. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
