My ISP has glassfibre with a passive optical network so I have to connect to its copper terminal, which exposes Internet on VLAN 6 (I think TV & telephony are on different VLANs but I don’t use that).
So I was able to use LUCI to use PPPoE on the WAN port and use eth0.6 as the interface instead of eth0, which works fine, I get Internet.
But now I have the luxury problem that my Internet caps out at 450 mbit/s using the MOX while with the ISP’s route I get up to 930 mbit/s. At 450 mbit/s the MOX is already at 100% CPU.
I suspect the VLAN must be the problem because if I put my ISP’s router in between I do get better performance (not the full 930 mbit/s but closer to it).
Does anybody know any tricks for getting higher performance out of VLAN stuff on the MOX? Would I be better served with an Omnia (because it has a higher CPU frequency)?
