Did I miss something? New 4011

I have seen reports (intranet testing LAB) about the hAP AC2 doing about 700Mbps with Wireguard. I think it’s safe to say that RB5009, with its far better CPU, would be faster.

Lab testing, thats useless. Unless you are a rat.. llamas dont live in cages!!

Go buy one yourself, and stop complaining then.

I have a ccr1009 and did buy an RB4011 for another location, the RB5009 is not yet available.
Its a free country at least where I live :wink: I am just saying that real world ISps and anything in between is NOT a lab. You may have a different experience, on another alien planet maybe…

It is time that Mikrotik visit Anav at home…no they are not the Mob. To test equipment at his place because that is the place to be testing stuff. Anav will sign any NDA they bring!?

No, it’s not a lab. But if you were a little less obnoxious would see the value of the info provided. Since you don’t, though titties.

You had me in stitches this morning Paternot
(though is very different from tough)

No hard feeling, sorry if I was brusque but a clean lab shows the potential, outside the lab shows Potential - X.
Understand the equipment is capable as stated but its limited by other factors when deployed.

PS. The only reason Normis would come here is if he wanted to enjoy a beautiful view on a lake, and be fed pancakes topped with maple syrup and some Canadian bacon and sausages and some fruit in the morning, and thats just the start of his day ( yes will make some italian coffee as well - with a dash of kahlua)
Any review of my config or setup would be the comedy part of the day and a realization that even someone who knows less than the square root of phuck all, can still use MT hardware successfully.

Nevermind. And, Yes - tough and though are quite different. “Though titties” is something like “your problem, not mine” - or “too bad”, ironically speaking.

Yes, that’s the value. Anything else would be on a case by case basis - as latency, dropped packets and anything else would affect it. Since we can’t know the quality of the link beforehand, the next best thing is the lab. At least we would know what is the best case scenario, and save time instead of chasing something that isn’t possible.

So. IF the hAP AC2 can do 700Mb Wireguard on the lab, I would say that the 5009 would do more than 1Gbps. I can’t say if 1,2Gbps or 2,5Gbps, since I don’t know how the CHACHA20 processing power of them compare to each other. Yes, I know: they do it in software - and that’s exactly the problem: Is the 5009 faster routing because the CPU is just faster? Or does it have several hardware accelerators, just to deal with network packets? Is it the same with the hAP AC2? This could seriously skew the results, one way or the other.

The RB5009 uses the Cortex A72 which on its own is faster than the A15 used in the RB4011 at the same clock speed, and the DDR4 RAM is another speed boost because the A15 is from 2012 and could only have used DDR3 at the latest.
