Main ISP is fiber, house is part of HOA that has cable internet included, so that is my failover.

Main is 2gbps symmetrical

Failover is 300 down, 10 up

Hmm maybe so. My gaming PC is currently a 5950x. Maybe I lll repurpose that and get a better pure gaming cpu.

The problem with that though is only limited to 128GB RAM. My r720 has that, and since I’m using heavy zfs on everything I kinda will need more eventually

Cpu is a 8 core Xeon D-1521, definitely not maxing out. Maybe 6% usage during active speed test.

It’s also DHCP on the wan side
