Hello, I am upgrading my home network setup which is driven currently by Hex S to “above 1Gig” WAN connection. My ISP supports RB5009UG and provides appropiate SFP module which leaves me with one 2,5Gbit port on my router. I have two devices on which I would like to have 2,5Gbit connectivity (PC+N…

I bought Chateau Pro AX not realizing it has no 2.5Gb port (what a mistake, I didn’t even think that it is possible for wifi6 router). So I have the same question.

Or put a 2.5Gb / 10Gb switch in the mix ? Even with bonding you will never saturate 2 links if only 1 stream is passing.

Or put a 2.5Gb / 10Gb switch in the mix ? Even with bonding you will never saturate 2 links if only 1 stream is passing. How does it help? There will be still only 1Gb ports on Chateau. Currently I’m bonding (wasting) 3x 2.5Gb ports on CRS310-8G+2S+IN to 3x 1Gb on Chateau just to get 2.4Gbps …

How does it help? There will be still only 1Gb ports on Chateau. Apologies, my response was directed to OP with RB5009.

I tried this one. No ethernet created. [Snímek obrazovky 2024-12-21 123719.png]

I don’t believe routeros will allow you to add usb/ether adaptors. As said. You need a switch that supports vlan and then trunk from switch to your 5009. It’s not perfect but would work.

I have few 1Gbps Realteks which are simply working and new ethernet interface is added. All what should be needed is to add 2.5Gbps Realtek FW to .npk. If there is recent enough kernel used by mikrotik indeed.

I tried this one. No ethernet created. 7.16 recently added support for RTL8156, but for now only for x86.

I think it’s better, expensive yes, but more powerfull to add a crs310 connected by sfp+ between rb/crs

7.16 recently added support for RTL8156, but for now only for x86. are you sure for this ? in changelog no mention to this limitation
