It's teaser-time. Because why not.
- Thread starter RMerlin
- Start date
2.5 Gbps WAN isn't new tho, the RT-AX86U was the first model to come with a 2.5 Gbps port.
10gbe port is a nice addition! Kinda wish whatever device this is had two of them as I don’t really see a practical purpose except maybe using a media server to a lot of wifi devices, but at least you can use a 10gbe switch and split off if you need that kind of lan speed. On HND models like the GT-AX11000 the only practical use of “10Gbe wifi” is having a lot of devices that might reach that speed in overall utilization?
Can’t bridge two routers and get those speeds because ai mesh is limited to a fat channel of 80Mhz, not using mesh and using say media bridge with some tweaks you can make a 160Mhz bridge but it’s still one or the other 80 or 160. Same for general wifi use of the 5ghz radios it’s only one radio that can use 160Mhz.
Rather unfortunate considering the tech specs seems to indicate in general use both radios can use 160Mhz which isn’t the case in real world use as far as I’m aware due to legal channel restrictions. Frankly the worlds first 10 gigabit wifi is false advertising except in experimental lab conditions that break the channel rules. Flimsy paper specs that consumers would never realize until after they purchase.
Wonder if they at least upgraded the USB ports to usb 3.2 gen 2 ports which offer 10gbe. Somehow I doubt that.
6Ghz might have fixed this issue on newer routers but I’m not sure. Either way I feel a little salty about the issue on the ax11000, lol. Point is hopefully newer routers will make sense eventually with their port pairing.

Ah, it sure I knew that. But after looking into it, seems it needs to be an SFP WAN port i think.
Even if they use a SFP port on the router you can use a SFP adapter to change it to RJ45 I’m pretty sure.

When is it coming out ?

It is nice to see it is a 10Gbps capable port, but is next to impossible to believe the router is a 10Gbps router.
Why not? The BCM4912 is capable of it, it has two built-in 10 Gbps interfaces.

You probably won't get 10 Gbps NAT of course, but you can use that for LAN traffic: aggregated LAN + wifi, or uplink to a 10 Gbps AP.
And I'd be curious as to what throughput one could get over IPv6 as it won't involve NAT, only routing.

I am not saying that it is an advance in the wrong direction, I am just not certain I would place too much stock in it yet. However, it sounds like something worth tinkering with.Why not? The BCM4912 is capable of it, it has two built-in 10 Gbps interfaces.

Unfortunately, I have no LAN client with 10 Gbps interfaces to benchmark things. I tried connecting two routers with 10 Gbps ports together and ran iperf on the routers themselves, but the CPU was bottlenecking iperf itself at 3.2 Gbps during that test.

So might adguardhome users ....Here's a teaser for a second router, before I head out to bed

with 2 gb ram should do away with swap.

Just means you will be able to hold more block domain entries in memory.

You may still want a swap to avoid OOM situations with higher size blocklist and memory hungry applications.
