Hi all, i’ve been searching this forum and the internet and still cannot find solution regarding my problem. I have subscribe a 2gbps internet from my ISP. Even though it is advertised as a 2gbps connection, the router supplied by the ISP only has gigabit only for my usage. I have a RB5009, how ca…

Does the ISP modem support this setup? Can the RB5009 replace the current modem? Isn’t the TP-Link switch a bottleneck as well? The connection between the TP-Link and the RB is Gigabit, or are there any other devices connected to the RB? In my experience (nearly) everything can be done with Mikro…

Isn't the TP-Link switch a bottleneck as well? Very relevant remark. Why try to squeeze 2Gb into RB5009 if it can only provide 1Gb further down ?

To be accurate the RB5009 has one 2.5 gig port, so a. it could be used to get receive the 2GB throughput, if the ISP actually provided a useful modem/router, but the rest of the ports on the 5009 are 1gig so any user would only be able to achieve 1gig of speed for any session. b. Even if you c…

Sir @anav , you must be joking. You do know that the rb5009 does indeed have an sfp+ port, right? In fact I think that this is probably the best device to receive a “multi-gig” internet connection. It’s usually delivered on a copper 2.5GbE, and you can fan out either using the 1G ports on the device…

Yep, but we can go step by step. there is always time to replace the current TP-Link with a faster switch. At the moment the questions are more or less (as I see the matter): Can I connect two (LAN) 1Gb ports on the ISP router to two (1Gb) ports of the RB5009 and get more speed than a single conn…

If OP replaces the current TP-Link switch with a 2.5G one, he can: Plug the switch to ether1 Plug ether2 and ether3 to the modem, configure them as two separate WAN interfaces with ECMP routes. Change IPv4 Multipath Hash Policy under IP → Settings to L4. Assuming that his PCs also have 2.5G netwo…

Change IPv4 Multipath Hash Policy under IP → Settings to L4. That is the setting that I didn’t know about, thanks. :slight_smile: If I get it right (from this post by Amm0): [image] ECMP recursive routes General Dear experts, I read many interesting posts about r…

it helps the ECMP algorithm used to divide the traffic between the two routes, right? Yes, it makes ECMP behave somewhat like the PCC mode “both-addresses-and-ports”. The default setting L3 is equivalent to the PCC “both-addresses” mode. In our example with the two WANs and two resulting ECMP …
