Internet Speed

Hi,

I have a problem with my ISP internet speed.
I have 500/50Mb and when I connect directly to my ISP router I get 400/50 aprox but when I do the speed test connected to mikrotik I get 160/50 more or less.

Before adding fastrack connection in filter rules y got 100/50.
/ip firewall filter add chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection connection-state=established,related
/ip firewall filter add chain=forward action=accept connection-state=established,related

Can somebody help me?

Thanks

more info needed. which mikrotik are you using? are you connecting wireless or over ethernet? what type of machine are you connecting from?

I had issues with wireless from my laptop but it was because I had the bandwidth throttled to 20Mhz from the default 80Mhz. On the HAP ac2 I had full speed (140 Mbps) using the factory defaults over ethernet.

Sorry,

My Mikrotik is RB2011UiAS-2HnD.
My connection is directly to eth2 (LAN) over ethernet and is Gigabit connection.
I use a Laptot.

Thanks

What is the CPU usage during the speed test ?

Official test results, with my added interpretation[*], show that RB2011 hits its ceiling at around 200Mbps (give or take) routing speed, exact number depends on number and type of firewall filter rules. A faster router is needed for WAN speed you’ve got. I suggest you to look at hAP ac², it offers awfully lots of bang per buck.

[*]My experience is, that the most relevant test result indicating real-world performance is the one under “Routing - 25 ip filter rules - 512 byte packets”.

Hi,

When I do the speed test CPU usage is 50-70% more or less

I’ve bought this router recently TT. Isn´t there any solution with this router??

According to the test results that @mkx correctly indicated and since the CPU goes as high as 70% we can conclude that thats the best RB2011 can do…
Imagine that even if it goes a little bit higher your CPU will go to 100% which means that the router will perform really really bad…

Ok, thanks.

Another question.

The Mikrotik hAP ac² is better than my router? Is the best option for me?
I thought a router was better option than wireless system.

Actualy I have my ISP router as bridge and Mikrotik as router.

If you take a look at the test results of hap ac 2 you will see that in routing mode with 25 ip firewall filters and a packet size of 1518 byte it can reach about 2Gbps.
With a packet size of 512 Byte can reach a speed of about 1Gbps.
So sure it can perform better.

The best option for YOU is the MikroTik RB3011UiAS-RM and Yes I agree that a dedicated Router - like the RB3011UiAS-RM - is far superior that one that includes integrated wireless like the Mikrotik hAP ac². And if you need to add wireless I strongly suggest you consider the Ubiquiti UAP-AC PRO Access Points … I currently do NOT recommend MikroTik Wireless AP’s.

Thanks so much! I will think about this option

My 2c
With my previous RB2011 I could get ~800Mb/s download with fasttrack enabled.

During the times the speed tests were done, found also that different browsers gave very different results

With my previous RB2011 I could get ~800Mb/s download with fasttrack enabled.

All depends on the config used.
Ofcorse 2011 can reach that speed, test results show even better performance than yours when fast path is used. But when you use firewall, queues ect then things change.

I strongly suggest you consider the Ubiquiti UAP-AC PRO Access Points … I currently do NOT recommend MikroTik Wireless AP’s.

In case you didn’t notice its a Mikrotik forum here. If i was intetested in other manufacturers then i guess i wouldnt be here since they got their forum too…

Just stick with RB2011 and enable fasttrack. 800 Mbps is achievable in default configuration.

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Fasttrack#FastTrack_on_RB2011

hAP ac2 is a good alternative with wireless.

Don’t invest in a RB3011. They are really fine devices but if you want a dedicated router, RB4011iGS+RM (without wireless) is the best option, price wise. Performs really good with cAP ac and wAP ac.

Just stick with RB2011 and enable fasttrack. 800 Mbps is achievable in default configuration.

Again, that speed is achievable without firewall rules and without queues.

No need to disable firewall.

Fasttrack bypasses firewall filtering for established connections and is enabled in default config.

And there are no queues in default config.

TS is free to post config for further examination.

Ok @nescafe2002, you can then let Mikrotik know that the test results are wrong! :laughing:

No one said queues exist in the default config. If i decide tommorow to use queues then what happens ?
The Link you posted shows the speed of over 800Mbps and the CPU at that point is almost at 90%.
You never want your CPU to go so up high because simply packets start to drop.

The speed depends on the configuration. As simple as that.!

The tone of your posts are not welcome here. Go and have a couple of Ouzo’s or something…

FYI, I had about 10 - 15 FW rules when I achieved that speed on my RB2011, and I do not see anything from OP re queues, you the only one bringing that up, why did you not rather suggest he must get a CCR1036 or something, just in case he has to do mangling as well…

Also, as per @nescafe2002 results, that is at 800Mb the CPU utilization, OP is only looking for 500Mb/s so that will bring CPU to ± 70% which is nothing wrong running CPU at that, might just pay a little more on electricity bill :slight_smile:

Thanks but am ok. ( is that considered a better tone ? ) Also what is wrong with my tone? . When someone disagrees with you has a wrong tone ? :laughing:

There are those who read and trust the test results of the manufacturer and those who dont. Those results are there for a reason. How would you know what best suits you if there is no point of refference ?
The test results do not agree with the results you say, and guess whose results i trust. Also you always choose the best case scenario…

I prefer my CPU to be always lower than 70%…
Also not always all packets get fast tracked.
That is a test result…! We dont know in what packet size that speed was achieved. So, we have the test results table for that.

If you guarantee that rb2011 achieves almost gigabit speeds no problem with me.
