My network has two WAN connections. One connection is limited to 150 Mbps by SQM, while the other connection is fully capable of 1 Gbps. However, when I performed a Speedtest on the unlimitted connection, it provided a speed of 160 Mbps. Upon activating software flow offloading, I was able to reach a speed of 600 Mbps. Nevertheless, I am eager to achieve the full 900 Mbps speed.

I am trying to configure a wan port on my TP-Link ER605 v2 for using a gigabit connection, however, is just negotiating to 100mbps. I force to advertise 0x02f with ethtool but is not working.

On the other end there is a 2.5 gigabit port from my ISP. I am using OpenWrt v25

Next week I will finish the setup of a dedicated optic fiber on my home, and I will also have my own AS and a IPv6 pool from Lacnic. How would you have fun with this infra in your home.

Moving from a middle relay to my first exit relay and want to do it cleanly. My setup is a bit different from the usual first-timer, so I'm hoping the operators here can point out what I'm missing.

Setup:

• Jurisdiction: Colombia (LACNIC)
• My own ASN, own IPv4 pool + IPv6, dedicated line, own physical server, ~100 Mbps
• Already running a middle relay, comfortable with Linux/networking/BGP

Since I control my own ASN and address space, WHOIS, abuse contact and reverse DNS are already fully in my hands. So my questions are about the parts that aren't solved by owning the IP space:

1. Upstream transit — feels like my real external dependency. For those running exits on their own ASN: how did your transit provider react? Anything I should square away with the upstream before enabling the exit policy?
2. LACNIC specifics — good practices for abuse-c, rwhois, and adding remarks to inetnum/aut-num hinting at anonymization use? Working examples welcome.
3. rDNS + exit notice — planning tor-exit.<domain> PTRs + the standard exit-notice page on :80. Anything else that actually cuts complaints when you own the range?
4. Exit policy — starting with the reduced exit policy instead of the default. Still the go-to in 2026, or are people tuning the port list?
5. LATAM reality check — own hardware, so I care about this: how have abuse complaints / the rare LE contact actually played out for operators in Latin America?
