My ISP recently upgraded my service. Until that happened, my trusty old Alix 2C board with 100mbps NICs was all I needed.
Prior to the upgrade, I was provisioned for ~85mbps down and the ALIX seemed to handle that well, giving me all of it.
However, the upgrade was to ~125mbps down, and the ALIX will not deliver anymore than that same ~85mbps. I am now Bottlenecked by the NICs or CPU or both. I know this because if I plug a PBCwith 1gbs NIC directly into the modem, I get the full 125mbs down.
So I ordered an APU1D4 board and it will be here in about a week. I plan to boot it with t1n1wall on a Sandisk Cruiser Fit USB drive.
Has anyone set up for an APU? Any quirks or special handling over what works for ALIX installs?
