WDR3600 slow speed navigation: inactive hardware accelerati

Post by Guty »

hello, introduce myself to the community, I am guty

After buying my new WRT3600, which can give up to 800Mb / s for hardware, I find that after gargoyle install the software does not give more than 130Mb / s.

There is some point be clarified by the developers ?.

Some settings in the original software that enabled if there is a NAT option to activate the acceleration but do not see anything here.

Any ideas to help improve my speed.

I certainly this is proven with only 1 pc without any adjustment on my part.

Hardware NAT acceleration is not supported by any third party firmware.

Hi the people who made the chip to do the Hardware NAT acceleration have not opened up the rite code to use it. The devs over at Openwrt have tried to get a driver for it but there is nothing that can be dun about it at the moment sorry. We are all in the same boat i am afraid.

ok guys.

after searching a solution to control the traffic through software router and saw more as you mention and some more but I chose the topic gargola control of quotas and speed.
But access providers I use already exceeds the speed optenida the router without acceleration I fear that I will perform some more tests but if this does not improve I will have to start seeing alternatives.
I need to control speed from 300Mbs several wan on.

FREE virtualized router an alternative to quotas and speed control by ip or mac

No need WIFI.

My suggestion would be Openwrt. You don't get the fine control of Gargoyle though.

Or you could stick with gargoyle and buy a FASTER router.
Or
Build a PC that is a router, which would be more than fast enough.

gargoyle works in X86?

openwrt if I know already what I had at home with my old WRT54GL.
openwrt on x86 can be a good option, it would be possible to control speed openwrt ip or mac in the current versions and quotas?
quotas is very interesting gargoyle is something that I have long been looking for.

I've heard of a few people doing x86 builds but I've never done it :)

after doing some tests to be transfer to the router initiate an ssh session with top and no problems in my router CPU memory problems also abound over 100
Transfers are poor do not reach 100Mb / s LAN to WAN connections are 300 MB / s I use good quality cable utp6 may be some settings to inspect this braking performance, because if the router is not saturated must be something not related to hardware power.
any option in the network controller driver should be enabled or disabled.

What is the CPU load at full speed?
This is a very well documented issue. The CPU must process all packets and this is slow.

Deputy top screen capture.
When the download is done with a speed test.
as you can see the user and the system are being used almost, while the available CPU is consumed by processes IO.
This is because the controller should not be made the proper activation function and all cargo arrives in gross CPU
It would be interesting to be able to introduce a more current drivers on compilations since we have lost 90% of the speed of the network
