I believe it'll route at cable speeds. I'm using it very = successfully with OpenWrt BB release on a 7 mbps DSL line. - If you have been following the Linksys WRT1900AC and WRT1200AC = thread at https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=3D50173&action=3Dnew = you'll see that the CC builds are sorta, kinda working. There are a lot = of moving pieces still, and despite the CC RC2 status, stable builds = only come out a few days apart. I would stay away from it if you're not = willing to participate in a science experiment. There is a team working to improve the OpenWrt site, but our work has = not yet been "blessed" by the the admin's who maintain the core pages of = the site.
