We have a CCR1009-8G-1S and just upgraded to 1gig service. We are only getting around 800mpbs download speed. The isp says they can ping the modem at over 1gig.
We have the wan on port 1, and the lan on port 2. We have fast track enabled.
Looking at the block diagram for the router, should be move the lan to another port like 6?

Thanks for the help!
On that particular model, you would not use ether1 as the WAN interface as usual with MikroTik routers.
Use one of ether5..ether8 (or one of the SFP) as the WAN interface and you can use ether1..4 as LAN.
Assuming you have another independent switch to connect the LAN systems, do not use any of the other ports (i.e. don’t make a bridge between ether1..ether7, only ether1..ether4. or no bridge at all when you do not need it)
No fasttrack!
I see over 900 up and down on my 1gig fiber connection, CCR1009.
That is a different model! And different config as well.
Thank you for the input.
What is the combo port on your router?
He has a different model. CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+.
It is the later model. It does not have the ether1..ether4 switch. So the issue you are seeing is not present on that model.
What they do have in common CCR1009 and EOL. 
any suggestion on a multi-gig mikrotik router with two multi-gig ports that is reasonable in price to replace the ccr?
What is more important wan throughput or CPU load??
$219 - RB5009 is a beast for throughput - 3 gigs. and 1gig of RAM
$465 - RB2004 has roughly the same throughput specs but 4gigs of RAM
$995 - RB2116 is the monster with 16gigs of wan throughput and 16gigs of RAM
RB5009 would be fine but only one 2.5g port?
Different board, but the same cores/processor! On board have 4 LANs, capsman/hybrid mode - new and old/, ether7 is a software trunk port. The combo port use sfp Ubiquiti for uplink/wan!
Yes, don’t use ether1-4 for uplink/wan, because they are part of the switch who uses one gigabit line то CPU.
I made the change and am using port 8 for wan and port 2 for lan and am getting close to 1g speed now.
Thanks for all the help.
Why does MikroTik not make more routers with at least two 2.5 ports? My guess is they will come out with 10g ports and not waste time with anything less.
You could attach one of these to your 10G sfp+ port maybe with a dac cable.
They are no longer sold but they are still supported. Updates for RouterOS are released for this model.
There is no need to replace it just yet.
Indeed that is a bit of a pity. A router like the 5009 but with all 2.5Gbit ports would be welcome.
Even the 2004 (the logical successor to the 1009) line does not have them. The number of ports has been increased, but
they still are 1Gbit. At work we have used the same router as you have and now we bought a CCR2004-16G-2S+ to replace
it, but so many ports really are not useful in a router in a company setting. I bonded 4 ports to the main switch, but that does
not increase the datarate for a single session, only for all sessions combined.
They already have…
Routers with multiple 10gbps ports are not rare..
Otherwise, 1x10gbps port and 10x1gbps ports could still saturate the 10 gbps port.
Routers with only SFP+ ports are not very practical to use. Optical modules are nice, everything else runs so hot that I would not want to have it (e.g. the SFP to RJ45 modules, or the SFP VDSL modem I tested in the past).
I never suggested to use them though.
My CCR1032 has two SFP+ ports and 8 twisted-pair 1gbps ports.
That meets the suggestion of “at least two 2.5 gbps ports”, two 10 gbps ports, and there are others.
That being said, Mikrotik doesn’t have any SFP+ only products, all the products have at least one twisted-pair port.
