Better performance

Enable Packet Steering

If your device supports multi-core processing, enable Packet Steering to distribute network traffic across CPU cores for improved throughput. Access this in Network > Interfaces > Global network options. This significantly improves performance on devices with multiple CPU cores.

Hardware Flow Offloading

Enable hardware offloading if your device supports it (Software or Hardware). Go to Network > Firewall and enable Flow offloading options to reduce CPU load and improve throughput.
