CCR2004-16G-2S+ shows wrong cpu mhz

RouterOS General

Hi,

This router should be 1700MHz according to the datasheet.
Or did i got the fast one?

Cheers,
Harry

Nominal CPU frequency is 1700MHz. But it’s possible to overclock it by setting /system/routerboard/settings set cpu-frequency=. Nowdays default setting is auto which allows ROS to scale frequency up or down depending on CPU core load. Sometimes this doesn’t work too well (it takes sone time to scale up and during that period of time router performance lags somehow).

I checked it, winbox doesn’t show that option.
CLI kind of the same:

[admin@x] /system/routerboard/settings> set cpu-frequency=1700
input does not match any value of cpu-frequency
[admin@x] /system/routerboard/settings> set cpu-frequency=2000
input does not match any value of cpu-frequency
[admin@x] /system/routerboard/settings> set cpu-frequency=auto
input does not match any value of cpu-frequency
[admin@x] /system/routerboard/settings> set cpu-frequency= 
[admin@x] /system/routerboard/settings>

Running export doesn’t show any changes to the default.

I guess its a cosmetic bug.

If you use
set cpu-frequency= and then TAB
what options do you get ?

5

Also check settings in /system/device-mode … I think you have to enable routerboard property to change cpu frequency setting … just don’t know which particular ROS version started to require that (could be it’s 7.17).

I get zero options. It like it did not press TAB.

7

That’s a good one.. but it seems i can not see the values. Maybe this is from v7.17 and later.
I’m running v7.16.2

[admin@x] /system/device-mode> print
  mode: enterprise

I’m running v7.16.2

Then yeah, you’re locked by default.


/system/device-mode/update routerboard=yes

beware, you will be forced to reboot - it tells you to unplug power or press button, but pressing button will reboot.

After the reboot, you will have settings available in /system/routerboard/set.
And if you do /system/device-mode/print, it will say something like:

         mode: enterprise
  routerboard: yes

Hi

I have upgrade and change the device mode.
But nothing really change still the wrong value and no way to adjust it.

You can’t set CPU frequency like this?

/system/routerboard/settings/set cpu-frequency=auto

(or press before entering auto to see possible values)

It seems unable to modify the CPU frequency.undefined
