Hi
280Mbps service with Comcast is likely the 300/10 package offering… In that case the US is limited to 10Mbps

I understand there might be some issue if 280Mbps was being processed – but in the US direction, we are not talking >>100Mbps – its about 10Mbps US, I would have thought running cake on 10Mbps US cake would not have triggered a 50% loss in performance even on this platform. Now if cake is applied to both inbound and outbound traffic then having to deal with ~280Mbps might be tough. In the case of DOCSIS AQM, PIE runs in the GW only on outbound traffic.

> I just bought an Archer 20 to replace my old 2016 Zyxel running OpenWrt. I'd found it by looking at various reviews of "best OpenWrt router for 2021". I just updated my Zyxel firmware from v18 to v20 firmware. I get about 280 Mbps from Xfinity. I turned on cake and it dropped by 50%! So I think the old router's CPU isn't up to it. I'll be swapping in the TP-Link soon so I can turn on cake without the big performance hit.



        Getting low latency traffic shaping to work in a robust and reliable way above say ~100Mbps is still a challenge even for relatively recent router SoCs. Modern multicore SoCs upped the ante in the things-to-look-out for area by adding CPU power-saving (especially frequency scaling) and load distribution over CPUs to the mix... Now even something like a raspberry pi 4B with an additional well-selected USB3 gigabit ethernet dongle (costing less than 100 EUR all in all) will allow cake up to 1/1 Gbps but still requires careful configuration to do so. No idea whether an archer 20 will do (not even sure what model that is, here in Germany I see either an C20 or an AX20 but no plain unadorned 20). If you should try OpenWrt on that thing, the OpenWrt forum is a good place to ask for configuration advice for specific models (will obviously not help if you stick to the manufacturer's firmware).
