Difference in CPU capability with oder and new hardware on the 710

Product Discussion Peplink Balance

I’ve got a 710 which is several years old and on 6.2.2 firmware. We are finding that with two 300Mbps circuits and a 150Mbps circuit, we are topping out at about 350Mbps on speedtests and almost 100% CPU. The 710 is showing 400Mbps which is pretty much the limit from what we can see. If I upgrade it to a new 710, how much faster is the router?

Hello,

Latest hardware revision B710’s are rated for 2.5GB of throughput.

Thank you. What was the rating on the router I have?

Hi Rory, I believe the original was rated for 400Mbps but a lot depends on how many users/active sessions are on the network. You would benefit by upgrading to the latest and greatest or maybe even going to the 1350. -Tim

What about the throughput on the 580? I really only need 3 1Gbps WAN ports. Will they hit at least 700Mbps if they aren’t doing anything but NAT for internet?
