Hello guys! I am planning to buy a new router for personal use and i am wondering if there is a any way to add artificial latency to my WAN. For ex i would like to add 50ms to my internet, i know that on linux i can do it with the following commands to add and remove the latency on demand:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 50ms
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root netem
Is it possible to do this on RouterOS or is there any way i can get the same results?
Build a linux box to do it.
I’ve successfully done it on a small low powered mini ITX style computer. Something like this.
It only works at 100Mb and can only delay for so long before it runs out of memory but otherwise it’s fine. Commercial solutions I’ve looked at are fairly expensive and if you look at a full blown hardware solution it’s eye wateringly so.
I believe i have seen this answer already googling around. Don't get me wrong but i am in the market for a new router i've recently found out my Cavium based router gives a lot of OutOfOrder packets while playing online games (UDP) and there is no fix for it so i thought i give MikroTik a try. Right now i am using an older server pc i had laying around with Supermicro X10SRH-CLN4F and Xeon E5-2620v3 with OPNsense installed but i don't see it as a solution as this machine is pretty big and is overkill for networking purposes.I did look around and it seems most fanless minicps have intel gigabit NICs that i am also avoiding. I just want an all in one router that doesn't eat a lot of power with the ability to set delay on WAN so i can increase the ping. The reason to do that is that i mostly play Counter-Strike 2 and having ping 5ms is very bad due to the lagcompensation which has become a real issue. Is there any way RouterOS can do this?
