500/50Mbps CRS210-8G-2S and performance problem

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello,
My company finally got good fiber link, we have CRS210-8G-2S, and it seems to be too weak to handle the bandwidth,
when I try some speed tests, cpu utilization goes to 100% and I’m getting max 30/30Mbps,
Profile is not helping much, 30%~ of performance goes to firewall, 20% to networking, and rest to monitoring, dhcp etc
My firewall are common, some dnat, 60 users in lan masq, nothing special.
Should CRS210 handle 500/50 ?
if not which model should I choose ? for 500/50 and some 10/10 backup, I hope to spend max 500 $

Kind regards, and thx for help,
Mac

CRS series are mainly switches. They should be used for switching and for with low or low-moderate routing. You should use CCR or any other router for routing with higher speeds.

The CRS210-8G-2S is very under powered for routing.

Try to use fasttrack, if there are no contraindications for it. It will help significantly. For the future use switch for switching and adequate router for routing.
