    Looking for help buying an sqm Router with performance to almost 500mbit connection

    Those 4 first hops seem to be from the same company - OTE in Greece. How a home connection reaches the backbone and cloud providers has everything to do with the ISP and not a single home router can help here. Maybe other ISPs have the same issue in that location, but it's worth a look... My...

I just replied to your statement that x86 is required to maintain 500 Mbps+ throughput with SQM: the choice of SoC is the limitation, not ARM. If encryption or NAS functionality is also required, then ARM becomes much...

    I had to post a reply to this, because it's a misleading statement. While it is true for AIO consumer routers that stubbornly use low power A53 SoCs or similar (B53), larger out-of-order ARM SoCs can handle higher speeds while having NAT acceleration disabled and FQ_CoDel/smart QoS enabled.
