Without hardware acceleration traffic has to go via the CPU, so if using CPU for other things it will slow down.

You also have 5 IPs, so I assume at least some of your traffic is Non-NAT, which will be less load on it.
The Hitron I have is not performing NAT but the Draytek is....

Re: Download speed in Hitron Modem Mode

I didn't think I was using alot of features but maybe I am!
Idle CPU is at 4%, Memory at 78%
ADSL in WAN1, Virgin in WAN2
2 LAN ports connected to different switches
2 vlans, DHCP, DNS and LAN DNS and Open Ports (port forwarding)

I'll do some more tests when I can but to be honest 150mb download is more than enough. I didn't check anything on the Hitron web interface, just turned on modem mode and rebooted.

Interestingly I just tried disabling WAN1 (ADSL) and removing the only route policy I have which makes WAN2 the default for all traffic with failover to WAN1. When I did this I got 170mb down with hardware acceleration off.

Looking back at the Draytek page when doing a speed test, CPU shoots up to over 80% from 4% on idle! The CPU is definitely the bottleneck.

Re: Download speed in Hitron Modem Mode

Something like the Cisco RV320 should achieve everything you want, with a DSL modem on one WAN.

Not too bad price wise at ~£150, but of course no wireless so you'd need to use something else for WLAN, possibly your draytek with DHCP off etc.

Rated for 900mbit of NAT throughput, so would be fine for a good while.

Re: Download speed in Hitron Modem Mode

Lets hope Cisco support the RV320 better than they did the RV220 - which had reboot bugs that they acknowledged and said they would not fix, and true to their word haven't! Their lack of support put me off this range from them.
