why didnt you just get a mini PCi wireless card for that ALIX2D3 Board with 3 LAN and 1 miniPCI ?

?
i also wonder how that CPU: 500 MHz AMD Geode LX800 maches up to the # 14 CPU Atheros AR7161 MIPS 24K running @ 680MHz
with such a large price difference, i think id still go for the Mips RouterStation 3x LAN, 3x miniPCI, 32 MB RAM motherboards.
but then you do have the far larger generic ram and the x86 compatability although again iv not used any Geode to date so cant say how they run or what specs they/it have, SIMD ?, MMU ?, micro core engines etc... is it in essence a 486Dx....
remembering the higher CPU clocks dont matter as much...., as they are different CPU familys, overall data throughput processing does though OC. |
They've been tested at 83Mbit/s or so on pfSense apperently if there is no encryption going on, can't vouch for the truth of that as I don't have enough bandwidth to hit that high.
I find my wireles being the bottleneck, it is load balancing I think the speedtest must be using multiple simutanious transfers, its 2 Adsl2+ lines using Annex M (I live near an exchange).
I get about 38down/4 up hardwired (and sometimes on wireless but wireless is a lot more variable) it's possible for me to get slightly more if I used a different modem on the 2nd line I lose 4Mbit/s of sync due to the AR7 chipset in my 2nd DSL modem.
Sync is 23.9/2.5 on one line 20/2.7 on the other
I'm not at home right this second and don't have it configured for console access from the Wan side but i'll get a dump of the cpu info if possible for you later if that helps?
Pfsense might not be the best thing for running a router on, I choose it becuase I was able to set it up to load balance without to much trouble
