Best upgrade from a J1900 for PPPOE?
-
I am in the next couple of weeks getting 900mb/s FTTP. From what I have read my ISP uses PPPOE which it seems my J1900 system cannot cope with at the speeds I am going to be getting.
I am needing a low cost low power replacement solution with at least 2 Ethernet ports (one for Wan and the second to go to a Lan switch to connect all my devices to). What would be the best low cost system to buy just to provide 900mb/s performance over PPPOE. I do not intend to have any complicated setups with VPN's or anything along these lines.
Thanks for any help.

Something with the best single thread performance you can get.
Unfortunately the laws of physics and economic say that getting low power, low cost and high performance in one package is.... difficult.

I went from a "low power" board with an embedded processor to a low end desktop setup when I moved from ~200Mbps to 1Gbps service and haven't regretted it. The low end desktop setup (Celeron G5905) is more than 4x faster than my N3160 in single threaded performance and 2x as fast in multi-thread, even though it is 2 cores vs 4 cores. The fact is that it idles most of the time and as long as you have good power supplies the extra power draw isn't too bad. I use a lot of OpenVPN and the G5905 smokes the embedded stuff. I'm using HP S01-PF1013W slim desktop with low profile HP NC365T 4 port igb NIC. It's nearly silent and very fast even with the stock Celeron. Investment in brand new computer, used NIC, and SSD I already had is ~$200USD.

@whosmatt Is this with using PPPoE?

@ck42 No, not PPPOE. Was just intending to show the relative single-thread performance of a low-end desktop processor vs an embedded one, since that directly affects PPPOE performance. The Geekbench browser will let you compare scores of different processors if you don't already have one to test.
