Very first world problem. UDM SE cannot get more than 1400Mbps down on 2GB connection from Aquiss. Martin did advise it was underpowered. I'm very much tied into the Unifi system for cameras, sensors, Wifi so did not ideally want to change and I'm sure I can live with this but realistically what are the options.
- Sell the UDM SE. Get a new router that can do decent pppoe speeds and have Network run on docker on my nas to control the ap's and buy the Unifi NVR for protect
- Run double NAT with a decent router in front of UDM SE
- Live with current setup...
Unless you have a genuine use case where you will saturate a 2Gbps line regularly, option 3...
I'd have thought it would be able to do higher, I'm sure I've seen users posting speed tests closer to 2.5 Gbps. There were also some EE users on Openreach testing at 1.6 Gbps.

Are any of you using PPPoE with your own router ?
Are there any benefits to doing this apart from removing the double nat

I was doing some monitoring via ssh and top and watching it hit 95% cpu use on downloads thanks to pppoe. I think it might be as I'm running protect with a decent amount of cams its just not got the cpu power. Will disable protect, Reboot and give it another try. The next step up if its not protect is a EFG and thats just silly for home use so option 1 or 3 will come into play.

There is a baby jumbo frames hack you can do for PPPoE, I never had much luck with it but I think @RSR has.

Why does Unify not have hardware offload for PPPoE when every other bog standard router does?
Or is it just because Unifi are using slow processors? 1.5GHz isn’t great.

I’m using an Orbi 970 direct to the ONT, no problem saturating a 2500/2500 connection.

Sadly I have never got that to work on the newer units only my original one but since I moved my main ISP to one which doesn't use DHCP on it.
One thing I have discussed with Ubnt is flow control on those ports, as that can cause time-out issues. If you are interested, I'll dig out the commands as that helped my backup PPPoE connection.
Thanks will look into this. Thank you @RSR that would be helpful.
UDM SE is 1.7GHz not that it makes much difference and you raise a valid point. Why on earth is it not offloading is insane. It performs worse than a 90 quid TP link

I've been over this issue with Ubnt in a lot of detail in the past and they have released some fixes from my findings. It's also one of the reasons I know about the flow control issue on the port as they said they could replicate it and they recommended setting those settings.
I'll go back over my old support cases later today and post the commands but they are not permanent as they will need to be applied on every reboot

Yeah just saw the posts - that's pretty cool
I just gave it a test on my failover router and got it working albeit that router is limited to a 1 gig connection for all my VLANs which is not ideal (it is the failover afterall)
Has anyone got PPPoE Active / Passive setup ? I 'can' do it but the solution is not going to be elegant - I've read something on the web about PPPoE routing but don't understand it. I'll have another read
