The specs are very conservative. I am able to get wireguard speeds of ~1400Mbps dl and 860 Mbps ul. OpenVPN caps out around 118Mbps with HW acceleration enabled ![IMG_1403](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/8/a/8a6a89c3f8d16f47e2c12db4688122e87b008592.jpeg) ![IMG_1405](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/9/b/9b9520b88ccc39de1e4f7eb4835f89ec0ed41c52.jpeg) ![IMG_1404](https://forum-static.gl-inet.com/original/3X/f/3/f3737c6874a88340899c2a1b0daa622d54add450.jpeg) ---

How did you test? I was only able to achieve 500Mbps with the cpu at roughly 3.5/4. > [@Slate 7 WireGuard speeds as advertised](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/slate-7-wireguard-speeds-as-advertised/60128): > > I am very happy (so far) with the Slate 7 coming from a Firewalla Purple as a travel router. After a few days of testing, I can confirm that WireGuard speeds are in fact around 500Mbps Right now I have the router hard-wired on WAN to my guest network running on pfSense. The VPN tunnel is all local (no WiFi or ISP involved). Obviously in real-world applications, I will likely see slower speeds due to hotel WiFi and bandwidth limits, but it's good to know the hardware is capable of it! … ---

It was either a glitch or some mistake because I’ve not been able to repeat those results, even on hardwired. You can see my updated results here: [Report: VPN Speeds on Flint 3 and Slate 7](https://forum.gl-inet.com/t/report-vpn-speeds-on-flint-3-and-slate-7/60717). Also keep in mind that the firmware I originally tested on was a 32bit pre-release firmware. ---
