Best Gargoyle hardware available?

Post by mrnaz »

Hi all,
I was wondering what the absolute best hardware is available for running Gargoyle. I was told the Archer C7 was at one stage. Is that still the case? Or there higher spec units available these days?

Oh, and I'm totally unconcerned with WiFi performance, I usually use Ubiquiti or other dedicated APs for WiFi duty.

That was the hope

I appears that we now need massive CPU's to cope with the new bandwidth limits.

if your bandwidth is 100Mpbs up and down the C7 is fine with nothing turned on.

With QOS and other features turned on you will get about 50 up and down.

This is a rough guide +/-

So is there any hardware available for Gargoyle that can actually handle 100/100 while splitting the bandwidth between 2 dozen users, managing QoS, and tracking quotas?

Check out this thread.

As you can see it will certainly do the QOS, but quotas hasn't been tested yet.
I'm not sure quotas will make a significant difference, but I wouldn't put money on it.
You may wish to participate in that thread and see if the user has done further testing.

I personally run a WRT1900AC v1 however my connection is no where near fast enough to test what you are asking sorry!
