I require a router for around 150 people… preferably for 200… I use Ques Simples itself… my ips is 1Gbs symmetrical…
I have limited the network to 20 MB per user
been reviewing the L009UiGS-RM for use due to cost issues
I would still like the RB5009UG+S+IN
but I want to know if any of these two would work well for the type of users
I currently have a hap ac but it is already too small for so many users.
It’s not really about number of users, it’s more about combined throughput and the processing burden you’d like to place on router.
Look at test results. The problem with test results is that they rely on using fast track heavily. In real life things are not as ideal, so one has to take results with a pinch of salt. In your case even more as you want to use queues and that’s largely incompatible with fasttrack (some queue types are OK).
The figure that pretty well resembles real-life performance is the “routing - 25 Filter rules - 512 byte packet size”. So L009 (with 300 something Mbps) wont’ do for you. RB5009, OTOH is a pretty different beast and will almost definitely do just fine.
a hAP AC2 would probably handle that.
Not likely. My hAP ac2 can do around 300Mbps of IPv6 (no fasttrack support for IPv6) while it can easily do 1Gbps of IPv4 (with fasttrack fully used). @OP wants to use queues, so fasttrack is not really an option (unless using hardware queues but I don’t know if these can be used when limiting throughput per user or IP or whatever the discriminator).
L009UiGS-RM is only switch do not have CPU. I would buy RB5009UG+S+IN and will have proper HW future proof
1 Gig for WAN feed.
150 users
The Queue seems to be to limit the users to 20M each. And without fast track the hap AC2 i think still hits about 980Megs
I didn’t think he would care about IPV6 (its not in the post)
Why do you guys suggest such a old crap? For 1 gig at least AX3… you will set wireguard, CAKE and AC2 can go away…16MB memory will be soon start of the end
Because OP speaks of “cost issues” explicitly. Maybe hap AX2 instead of hap AC2 in terms of future proofness and similar routing performance. Little cheaper than AX3 as well.
But what ac2, ax2 and ax3 all have in common: no SFP port. And it is maybe one of the OPs requirements…
Because the Radio in hAP AC2 is a throw away.
And the AX kind of sucks as a WAP… so why pay for it?
hAP AC2 runs Zerotier, Wireguard, and since its the old driver… you can even use its crap radio to bond to a hotspot for a back up internet. Otherwise… that radio is just turned off anyways.
Only have 1Gig WAN… might as well go copper to your coreswitch??? Unless that switch is far away… why bother with the SFP?
Thank you so much !!! According to the answers, it is correct to use simple queues to leave my users with a 1.1 download and upload limit of 20 mb… and then I will actually buy the RB5009UG+S+IN… for the queue issue and not to lose bandwidth. .. also the issue is that in the office yes or if they want to use WiFi… I have that and it turned out with some GNW 7615
my users use ip v4
yes, buy this RB5009UG+S+IN. it is future proof and worth the money. You should read about QOS CAKE. If I were you I would not limit your user but put CAKE on the gigabit and you network will be much more stable and people more hapy. CAKE will spread the speed
I’m going to review what you told me
sorry .. aim use a single Simple Queues … but I use Queue Type for pcp upstream and downstream and ony hardware queu
