We bought a new apartment in a new building in Prague (Czech Republic). I work as a programmer, so I need a low latency (vpn, samba, ssh, remote desktop, etc.) as well as high speed transmission (home server that handle copying over 100 MB/s).
Unfortunately, the apartment doesn’t have data wiring and socket of internet is only in the living room. We have a very fast optical internet with ping 1ms to domestic data centers.
It is not possible to run cables around the house, so i search a way to wirelessly connect 3 rooms, and achieve performance approaching to GLAN. Each room should have some proper Mikrotik device, apparently in bridge mode (another device will be connected to the Mikrotik GLAN).
Now i have in the living room RB493G with 1xR52Hn (2x8dBi MMCX antenna) and RB751G-2HnD in bedroom (with internal antenna - i tried also external antenna with 8dBi without any performance proof). I set both devices to use “Nstreme” and point-to-point setup. On both devices is last RouterOS 5.20. The distance is approximately 10 meters and 3 walls (15cm wide) between them.
The result: latency is very good - stable 1ms ping and TCP (Mikrotik bandwidth test) approx. 40Mbps receive and 30 Mbps send. Unfortunately, bandwith is quite slow. I tried also NV2, but it had a high and unstable latency (10-100 ms).
In addition, I want to connect a home server that will be in the chamber (it has 6 noisy HDDs)
Regardless of price, what Mikrotik hardware and what settings would you recommend me to the best connection for 3 rooms wirelessly?
Thank you!
