On the Pi4 the Ethernet is attached to the PCIe bus, not the USB bus like previous versions.On 01/03/2020 09:31, Simon Avery wrote:These things exist - but at quite a high price point for the usual reason that it's not used by the average consumer, and even SOHOs quite often go with a bog standard isp-supplier router and nothing else. (Maybe a vpn or two) This is changing, but so so slowly.This is the core of the problem - I know full well that professional solutions exist and plenty of them, I've been using them most of my working life. Which is how I also know they're frequently crappy and always expensive. It's exactly all the small SOHOs I'm interested in, all of whom could afford a <£100 RPi based mini router/gateway/thingy. But it would have to work super-reliably, and that's where the RPi proposition is likely to flake out I think. Initial tests on a RPi3B+ running stock Arch looked great until iperf was bound to the USB gigabit adaptor instead of the onboard NIC: NIC: 34.2 MBytes/sec USB: 25.2 MBytes/sec
