I am curious what type of things you're running on your router. I have an ER-X, but haven't ever thought to run software on it (aside from some of the obvious packages like VPN and such).

I have an EAP Proxy Python script running. It allows me to easily and permanently bypass my ATT fiber modem. Speed and service quality went way up when I did that.

I have AT&T fiber and hate the hardware I have. Could you link to your script please? I'm toying w/ the idea of buying my own hardware.

Which VPN do you run on it? Wireguard? How's the performance, I ask as I too have an ER-X.

I have ipsec on my er-x, it's build in. They have a bug in the ipsec offloading in the last few firmware releases so that can't be enabled.

So speeds are kind a slow, around 50-90 megabits (i have gigabit fiber, that the er-x otherwise can fill out completely).

Not OP, but, I use the built in IPSec vpn. I have been looking into WireGuard though.
