you would need a router that can see/utilise that speed

The r7800 is actually too slow for gigabit speeds.
I manage to fully utilize the CPU with WLAN/LAN traffic.
When the R7800 is transmitting (TX) with 4 spatial streams then it has almost 100% CPU load at 800Mbit.
at least with dd-wrt / without the use of the 2 network accelerators.
There is no computing power left for WAN or other things.
It would need at least 4 of the 1.7Ghz Krait cores so that WLAN and WAN can be used simultaneously with high data rates.
LAN ---> upload --> WLAN
WAN ---> download --> LAN
so 2x 1Gbit - the maximum what is possible with the 1Gbit fullduplex switch
the r9000 could do that with its 4 CPU cores
if this is a non-symmetric WAN connection then you might need (or want) QoS as well.
and even the R9000 can't do that with simultaneous load on all interfaces.
that's where an x86 comes into play
and i don't know what you want to test with 1Gbit WAN, the limits are already more or less known for most routers
most home routers are too slow for that (at least 3rd party firmware and without hardware NAT or network accelerator)
i am also annoyed that the R7800 is the bottleneck in my network - respectively the slow processor
(with a processor twice as fast it would be great)
And to give everyone a peace of mind here, I do have a Mikrotik RB4011. If that is not enough, I can step it up to a Mikrotik 1036 that I am trying to get a new replacement power supply for. If anyone is curious, its the first version Mikrotik came out with before they made a new version of it that has redundancy in the power supply.
Wireless I got covered.
EDIT: never mind. I did not fully read ho1Aetoo post.

Well since you do mention overclocking, I imagine that would be easy if one were to cut out a piece of plastic and run water tubes to a water block on top.
or LN2
But jokes aside, I have seen that done before. But did water cooling a routers processor ever help with overclocking? _________________ For people who are new to the dd-wrt forums >> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm

If the RF shields weren't in the way. Probably the best designs I have seen that allowed for cooling and adding fans are the Linksys WRT AC series devices. The fan in the R9000/XR700 is too small and I have yet to see or hear mine ever come on with the settings set low enough that it should run 24/7.
If you're not really worried about aesthetics or cosmetics, you can mount the thing on a wall and dremel out a hole and add a usb cooling fan for airflow. But if you're going to go to that extreme for gigabit WAN, might as well go with an x86_64 mini PC and call it a day. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

x86 is best proper option here, and it will last long term, well beyond 1gbps even with qos on (with proper decent hardware) once a 2.5gbps+ nic is added. my i3 4150 (cpu only here) can idle at less than 1.5w, mind u its undervolted.
if u dont know how or want to make ur own x86, theres several prebuilts. _________________ LATEST FIRMWARE(S)

Oh I know. I mean originally, I was wondering as a beta tester if there was any benefit for dd-wrt testing for me to upgrade to 1gbps. But at this point, the firmware is capable AFAIK.
I would go x86, but I like keeping things small and compact. not a lot of space in some parts of my house. definitely not near my modem. So ARM is the way. though I rather go with a mikrotik RB4011 router, that I already own, than to take my chance with the R8900 and R9000 routers. From what I read, those routers have "SDS".
I think I rather try a Linksys WRT32x. I am not running anything elaborate on it anyway. So it should do the job, yeh?
Maybe my test results would also benefit for the marvell routers here. I know whats happened, but I would like to think "there's still some meat left on the ribs here". _________________ For people who are new to the dd-wrt forums >> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#rtfm

Are we in Belfast, now, yeh? The x86_64 mini-PCs that are supported / would work aren't any bigger than the WRT32x. They're maybe the size of a standard cable modem. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Raspberry PI 4 with dd-wrt might be interesting with a daughter-board for any must additions like an extra Ethernet port, with an external switch, might work.
