I don’t believe it will be able to achieve 1gbps in either direction. My ea8500 would peak around 750mbps symmetrical when running openwrt.
r/openwrt • Is the Linksys ea8300 a good choice for 1 gig symmetrical internet? ->This 👆 I'm using n100 device running pfsense and it can handle your routing requirements, then pair it with any wifi 6/7 that you want, I'm also pairing mine with a linksys ea8500 (openwrt) which can broadcast multiple ssid for iot, guest, etc. with Vlan, then my main wifi is an ax12 wifi 6 device
r/openwrt • Most powerful/fastest WIFI 6/AX router fully compatible with OpenWRT? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
