You'd get less than that.. Remember that beside the crypto, the router still has to handle things like routing. Right now, I devised things so the first OpenVPN server uses the second CPU core, while the routing is done on the first core. If you also run a server on the first core, it will have to compete with routing on CPU time.
Merlin, I have an AC56U that I bought previously, largely to run your firmware to use it as an openvpn client. My wifi was being handled by an older N16 router. I just bought the AC86U and, given it’s specs, would like it to handle both tasks now (vpn client and wifi). Do you think the vpn performance I get would be impacted much if it is also handling wireless duties? Family of 3 so probably max of 5 wireless devices going at the same time (if that matters).
Also, I was pretty lucky with overclocking the AC56U to 1.4 from 800. Have you played with overclocking the AC86U at all?
