You do own a gaming router, don't you?
Imagine not having the lowest pings possible in multiplayer gaming and outside of gaming.

No anon, I have some old tmobile router that I flashed with firmware it technically doesn't support. Actually I have 3. They work ok except sometimes they disconnect from each other because the backbone is wireless. What's the big deal?

I bought one of those Netgear Nighthawk ones second hand and it had a DD-WRT firmware that basically made all the lan ports unusable and the wifi signal drop down to 0% sometimes. Flashed the original firmware back on to it.
Fuck DD-WRT, seriously. It doesn't do anything better.

No, I have a normal home network with a 10-gigabit managed TP-link switch interconnected to some Mikrotik CRS305-1G-4S+IN switches (fibre to upstairs, and fibre from upstairs out the back garden to the shed) and I use the Eero access points my ISP gave my for nothing in bridge mode for WiFi because they're surprisingly capable and I don't really care about WiFi. The router is a desktop PC I built that runs OpenWRT.

Absolutely zero need for any gamer shit at all. My ping to the router is always 0.1ms and I run Cake on the router to fight bufferbloat.

Although, since everything is wired then that obviously includes your access points too, right? A mesh should work great like that, the only issue is sometimes client steering can be meh and clients won't hop quickly enough or well enough from one access point to another (the access point can influence this a bit but the client operating system also has to do its part too)

These routers are the perfect devices for the WiFi Tracking System known as "WiFi Motion" which uses your WiFi router to monitor and track movement in your home.

The product was released in late feb, it got the silent fan update in late may.
Unless you were an early adopter, it wouldn't have impacted you much at all. Buying a brand new product at launch without waiting on reviews is dumb anyway and for a company like ubiquiti that frequently updates their software with early access versions if you want the latest features, the silent fan mode was actually first added in 4.2.9 back on April 24th, 2 months after the product was released and a full month before the official release (4.2.12).
I get it you don't like Ubiquiti for whatever reasons you've managed to convince yourself of, but in this case you just look stupid arguing about fan noise in a brand new product that quickly got software updates that addressed the exact issue you're bitching about.

It's about as normal as anyone owning a gayming router to be fair. It's a good setup though. If anyone is serious about networking then I encourage you to split your network up like that:

I don't hate ARM but it's fair to say it hasn't exactly taken over the DIY PC building world. If I could buy a mainboard and do a build comparable to my current router (it has a 5700G in it which is important because that maps nicely to my network cards hardware queues which means I can have a 1:1 mapping whereby each hardware queue goes to a dedicated CPU core/thread) then I would.

There probably is it's just not some "spying thing" that you'll find on Github. Wireless access points have radios in them, no shit that can be used to map out your location in your home based on signal propagation and probably more advanced sensors crammed into these things these days (not a radio expert but of course it's possible).

The real question is why anyone should care if the spooks know you're currently shitting yourself on your toilet and browsing 4chan at the same time. It can't be useful intel for them.

You people are fucking retarded. This is the most primitive form of echolocation imaginable. And even it was something to be concerned about, you're not running some closed source firmware that can and has already been doing much worse things for your privacy, right...?
OEM router firmware sends device MAC addresses and whatever other crazy shit back to home base. That is significantly worse than this baby shit echolocation.

Do a traceroute -I 1.1.1.1 (or tracert 1.1.1.1 for winblows users)

Your router will have fuck all latency and the majority of the latency increase will be in the middle (you know, the bit that is actually responsible for routing your data packets from point A to point B via a sophisticated global network of routers and switches).

If your access point is smart and de-prioritising ICMP, you may even see a very high ping for the first few hops and even potentially packet loss but this doesn't contribute to the end result in the last hop (low ping and no packet loss).

UCG-Fiber is $280 and has 3x 10G ports (2xSFP+ and 1x10GbE)
Two SFP+ 10GbE modules will run $25-45 each, assume $30 each for $60, then add an access point for wifi at $200. For to $540 total and you get an additional 10GbE port and instead of 4x 1GbE like on the Asus, you get 4x 2.5GbE.

So basically the same price as the GT-AXE16000 ($530 VS $540) but you get faster ports, and one more of them.

The Asus only makes sense if you like the aesthetic or just REALLY hate ubiquiti.

at 2gig it's entirely possible the latency isn't local, there are plenty of peering servers that could increase loaded latency just due to how they handle their queues/buffers at higher throughput. Could also be the ISP itself at those speeds, the core routers are generally tuned for consistent throughput more than the lowest possible latency, especially on residential connections.

And again, 10ms of loaded latency on a 2gbps connection isn't terrible by ANY stretch, most consumer routers, if they even have WAN ports capable of those speeds, would see 20-50ms+ of loaded latency.

10ms is on the LOWER end of the spectrum before you get into x86 routers using 5x the energy, or higher-end enterprise routers that cost $5k+.

The only poser here is yourself thinking you have any understanding of bufferbloat at such extreme bandwidths.

Turns out at 2000mbps you run into latency from ISP core router queues/buffers, their own QoS, and then peering point router's queues and buffers as well.

The idea that 10ms is bad because you've seen lower on your own 40mbps connection is frankly laughable.

I mean, it looks like you're just using an x86 router to limit your bandwidth by ~5-10% to smooth out your latency.

I personally prefer higher throughput to slightly lower latency under load considering the number of times I'm doing something latency sensitive while downloading at 2gbps is almost never.

Also, posting a speedtest result from a month and a half ago isn't the most convincing argument you could make, especially when we're discussing the waveform bufferbloat test which is much more in-depth compared to the latency testing speedtest.net does.


and oh look, pic related I have only 1ms of loaded latency for downloads according to speedtest.net, but 12ms of loaded latency on the upload. Maybe, just MAYBE it's the ISP/Peers adding latency and not my router.

Yes, I chose this over anything enterprise because I didn't want to pay a fortune for 10gbe uplink and wanted the freedom to install packages on my router at will. It's running Asus Merlin and I have never been happier with a router before. I have a 5gbps fiber internet connection so the sfp+ port is a requirement. I bypass my ISP modem using an sfp fiber module. The USB port of this router is powering a small 20mm noctua fan attached to the sfp module for cooling. It's very nice and free when you don't have multiple boxes for your internet connection. Shit just fucking works, my home server is connected to the 10gbe lan port.

There's no point planning for the "eventually" unless you can make use of this in your LAN today (e.g bulk fast transfers over WiFi).

I have a 10-gigabit LAN but my wireless is a bunch of Eeero 6 access points my ISP gave my running in bridge mode. I don't really need fast WiFi speeds, everything important is running with a cable connection. The most important metric for me really is that it shouldn't fall apart with many iOT shit devices connected to it at the same time but there's only so much you can do to make a 2.4 Ghz WiFi work well. I try to use Zigbee now instead when I can.

Yes DOCSIS.

"Mid split" DOCSIS which has ~75-150mbps upload speeds with up to ~85MHz allocated
"High split" DOCSIS which has ~200-350mbps upload speeds with up to ~204MHz allocated

The sub split parts of the network are generally limited to 300mbps up to 1.2gbps download speeds.

The mid split and high splits areas have usually up to 2.1Gbps (real world I see ~2200-2300mbps).

That's not retarded, GPON has over 1gbps upload aggregate and can easily support 4-6 1gig customers on a PON as long as they're not all slamming their connections 24/7

I was on GPON for 16 years before getting upgraded to NGPON2 recently and I had symmetric gigabit service for ~7 years and was always seeing 850-940mbps download and upload.


And GPON has clear upgrade paths with either XGS-PON, NGPON2, and other newer PON technologies as most of the newer PON standards have GPON backwards compatibility support, so ISPs can upgrade backhaul links while keeping customers on GPON ONTs until they're ready to deploy newer customer equipment whenever the ISP has the cards in place.

Lots of infrastructure and not oversubscribing.

I'm in one of the wealthier densely populated areas of the US.

They have to compete with a fiber ISP offering GPON with 1:8 splits (so they can easily offer symmetric 1Gbps) to everyone. Though they're slowly upgrading to NGPON2 and offering 2gbps symmetric service.

So yeah, they just spend a shit ton of money building a robust DOCSIS network.

It does mean $80-110/month for faster speed tiers though.

I guess that's what happens when you live in a wealthy area so they care about competing.
I left the last cable provider I was stuck working the day their competitor first got fibre layed in the street. I was one of the first addresses to have it switched on. The cable provider didn't give a shit about competing with them. They are slowly migrating to fibre but this is a years long endeavour at this point, not something that will happen quickly.

They do plan to offer symmetric speeds and also multi-gig, and 10-gigabit in the future too though so I will probably end up switching back to them if these upgrades ever materialise. Being stuck on a retarded ISP that can't even offer gigabit upload is no fun when you want to share torrents with others or host web services, etc, (and yes, I am aware that most people don't do these things).

You won't need a super computer for this, just something with multiple cores/threads and a NIC with multiple hardware queues.

Not really since I get lower latency using the 10Gbps SFP+ port for WAN compared to the 2.5GbE WAN port.

Also the ONT it's connected to is 10GbE and prefers operating at 10GbE and can cause issues if you try to operate it at 2.5GbE, it's why my ISPs provided router also uses a 10Gbps WAN port (though native 10GbE instead of SFP+)

Theoretically it can support a few hundred Mbps with G.fast but there aren't many ISPs that use it.

Basically fiber node in your neighborhood with DSL loop for the final few hundred meters. Because of the short distance you can get 100mbps at up to 500 meters, or a few hundred Mbps if shorter distance.

MGfast can supposedly do like 4gbps (aggregate) over telephone lines. Though distance is even shorter than G.fast for those high speeds.

Turn flow control off. That shit is broken and never works right. It can cause your ISP to switch your interface off which will make it disconnect, etc.

Not them, but that's mostly down to ISP routing. I can theoretically get sub 5ms but in the real world everything is normally at least 7-10 ms ping if it's got good peering.

What's under the statistics tab? Do they expose the drops/marks/overlimits?

that's +5ms on top of your existing latency, not 5ms total.

OpenWRT compatibility comes above all else.

Is this better than DD-WRT?

If you care about it being open source it is. Modern dd-wrt is a glorified pajeet remix rom for Broadcom hardware.

I've had really bad experience with anything running DD-WRT. It makes things worse, not better. Here >>106085786
This is nothing new either. I tried it on other routers from Netgear, Dlink etc. and it made things worse, not better.
But if OpenWrt is better, I'd be inclined to try it.
