@Slartybart: As WireGuard relies entirely on ChaCha20, which is a pure software encryption , throughput depends directly on the CPU power, so a slower CPU means slower throughput. For maximum throughput on AWS, consider using IPSec, though be aware that there might be a throughput cap depending on ...

This is still raw, but may give some ideas for some people - for example running DOOM

Aye, time to play OpenArena on my 5009

ksx4system

This devices RB941-2ND/TC only have 32MB, why this product still produce? Will this device stable if I force to upgrade to ROs v7 ?

It is very stable with RouterOS v7 but I only use it as a simple AP to provide a guest network, not sure if there's enough RAM to play around with VPNs under v7.

ksx4system

If you need to choose between 4011 or 5009, that's a no-brainer. Always 5009. this :) The 5009 has some sad design choices such as a front power connector, the rack option seems bendy unless you go with the full 4 stack?, I'm not a big fan of these designs sadly they're super soho on the low-end si...

Why not look at L009 ?

L009 is an awesome switch

Does Mikrotik have any plans to release a QSFSP28 100G router with 10 10G SFP+ ports?

Have you considered using CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ?

ksx4system

Why not all to 10g network? The unified use of RJ45 can make the network simpler.

Power usage and hardware costs.

ksx4system

Your company switch most likely works as "802.3 af/at" and provides around 48V. Which is pretty much incompatible with RB260GSP PoE-in requirements.

heard of newer Realtek 8111 but not tested yet.. ordered 1 card for testing.. but i would like to know if intel supports full IRQ..

Avoid using Realtek network interfaces for any serious deployment, you will have issues.

For example, I'm looking at the hEX S router. The picture shows the SFP under "internet" label, but in my case it would be used for LAN. Is it an issue to configure it such a way? It's up to you how you configure it. Reset it with no config, add all interfaces to bridge1 and set DHCP clie...

I'd love to see a crossover between CRS304-4XG-IN and CRS305-1G-4S+IN. Maybe 4 RJ45 ports and 1 or even better 2 SFP+ ports? Maybe you're right, but that means a higher price. I think for families, more RJ45 ports are more practical. For example, in the following scenario, you have a Synology NAS, ...

We are using SMB ourselves here and there have been no issues at all, so we need a lot of detailed info.

Hello

I've got a pretty simple question this time: does MikroTik allow dealers to put their markings on brand new hardware and/or packaging?

I've recently seen hardware with dealer's sticker on the bottom of enclosure. If it's allowed - is this a popular practice in your country?

ksx4system

So, less "change just to be different", and more "don't change it if it works fine", please.

Yes please, every IT company should adhere to this principle.

Every popular piece of software I'm using has either already gone bad or its creators have commited to make it much worse in next version. Why? It is a problem of capitalism by itself.

I've got exactly the same issue (but simply can't access the Internet on Android clients), currently solved by running VPN server on different MikroTik device within this network.

ksx4system

1), Create a CHR ISO , where the CHR can be directly installed on bare-metal hardware ( and/or ISO installed in a hyper-visor ).

It is (somewhat) available today, just buy a licence and install x86 ISO on your bare PC and/or server of choice.

ksx4system

Netinstall, if you have no other entries.

They might have one more solution to use. Two accounts were mentioned, if the second one has admin rights too then it obviously should be able to change/reset password of the first one

They are connected via Unitek Y-3089 USB 3.0 hub powered by an additional power supply (5V, 2.5A): Do you have any issues with storage without USB hub in the way?

Unrelated question. What do you intend to do with the L009 that cannot be done with the RB5009?

OP clearly said that he's going to *add* L009, not replace RB5009. L009 could become a pretty nice managed switch for example

CCR2004 gives you plenty of switch ports and more raw power to handle CPU-bound tasks like queue management to keep latency down using techniques such as fq_codel, cake, or similar.

For LTE to work with Cosmote you have to disable "Use Network APN" and manually enter "Internet".
