Is this board intended to route packets using the CPU/Linux kernel or does the CPU act on a control plane on top of the two Ethernet controllers which talk to each other directly? Recently I set up a relatively powerful AMD "nuc" as a wifi AP and found my speed to be a dismal 7Mbps - enough for my office needs but I wonder if the cpu is liable to be a bottleneck (it's also possible I set something up very wrong)


The first one. Although I'm surprised throughput was so low with the setup you describe.


Haha yeah I probably messed something up. I should also check for dropped packets but my wifi-fu is not that good
