Need help with router selection

RouterOS General

Hello, I need your help with selection router for my network. I need router that must:

  1. Connect to Internet through WAN ports – i.e. must have at least one WAN port
  2. Must be stable, reliable, without bugs in hardware and it’s firmware
  3. Must provide for 40 computers active work with internet, to wit for each user:
  • work with corporate FTP-source, approximately 100 MB of data sending-receiving for user per hour
  • work with corporate mail server using web-browser
  • work with coporate software using web-browser
    -work on Remote Desktop using Windows Remote Desktop Connect application (RDP)
  • common work (services google, yandex, some sites such as Kaspersky.ru, Microsoft.com, etc)
  1. Must provide port forwarding for large number of services, including: DNS, FRP, Remode Desktop, Web – 80, 443, VPN. Please take care that for half of port forwarding, port that router must listen on internet interface, and port, to which router must forward traffic is different. For example, router must be able to forward TCP-connection to port 6448 from internet to port 6000 of machine in my LAN with IP 192.168.2.10.
    Please advise me routers which can do all written above. And, what do you think about Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD? – Can it do all above or not?

Every mikrotik router can do that. Just it has to have enough interfaces according to your needs. The question is just about performance. Check the product pages, there are performance tables so select the type that will fit your needs even in close future.

You have not provided your performance expectations.

Yes, Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD should work with two gigabit switch each having twenty-four ports; however, I would go with a RB450G (256 vs 128 RAM and has a microSD slot) with the above switches and a wireless access point (my setup for a home office…older RB450G with no microSD). Still, as Jarda said, it’s difficult to recommend a router without knowing your performance requirement.
