Curious if a Balance 210 (2019 version) will limit starlink throughput.
A speedfusion tunnel is running, but is not being used for these tests. Traffic is set to priority: starlink wan.
Starlink speed is variable, so it’s difficult to get an accurate observation.
However, with Laptop → Lan → Balance 210 → Wan → Starlink Ethernet Adapter I’ve yet to get a speedtest.net result that is as fast as connecting Laptop → Starlink Ethernet Adapter.
Just curious what others are seeing before I troubleshoot further.
I have wan properties speed set at 250 mbps. Gigabit light is on peplink wan port.
- Connected directly to starlink ethernet adapter, I got 99 and 140 mbps.
- Connected through balance within a minute back to back test, with routing set priority starlink wan, I get 77, then 81 mbps to same speedtest.net test location.
Maybe I should try increasing wan properties speed if traffic to starlink is more bursty than that. Any other things I should tweak on the wan port connected to starlink?
