CRS125-24G-1S-IN Performance

As this is perfect SOHO device, I`m still wondering…can it handle 300Mbit/s connection aswell?

I currently have 100Mbit/s Symmetric connection at home and it handles it just fine (~35% CPU Usage Max), but ISP will do a "upgrade " soon.

Just Running a simple 20 Rule firewall, NAT and 2 routed interfaces one via IGMP Proxy, all other is plain old switching, so it doesnt utilize cpu.

Or I should get something more powerful for such kind of connection?

It tops on NAT at about 200 Mbps with 100% processor load.

Good to know, I was actually suspecting that…
Pure Math showed it could do approx 250Mbit/s max, under these conditions, but CPU usage is not always linear on network devices.

Too bad Miktrotik doesnt have any 16 port “entry level” CCR`s :frowning:

So I would probably need to add CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+ into the mix then… (well looks like I have to by a second mikrotik already :laughing: )

Or a RB1100AHx2. I have such setup (RB1100AHx2 + CRS125-24-1S-RM) and I get 900+ Mbps without issues (load is about 40% on the 1100 and 10% on the CRS).

Thank you for an advice, will consider it too… :slight_smile:
