Hi, I’m testing the router RB951G with the new ISP bandwidth Movistar in Spain to 300 Mb and you can not get the maximum 300 MB. The maximum obtained is far about 260 Mb.
We tried FastTrack but the result is very bad that we lost about 15 or 20 Mb, is this normal? With FastTrack not it be better?
Thanks in advance.
You call that “very bad”?
Did you verify that the full 300 Mbit is available when you omit the router?
Note that those speeds, when specified on cable networks, are actually a shared speed within a small area.
So you will not have the full speed available, but only what is left over when subtracting the usage by your neighbors.
(on fiber and DSL this is usually different)
If the problem is in your router your cpu usage will be very high.
If the cpu usage of the router stay low then it is not the problem.
Fasttrack can help with that a lot if setup correctly.
The cpu used normaly is very low, between 0 and 5 %, only is high when I do the speed test, then the cpu can be 100%, but if enable fasttrack then the result off speed test is 10-20 Mb worst.
I am technical computer specialist, testing the router do with only a PC and wired, not wifi, and under the same conditions with the free router Movistar get up to 315 Mb and the Mikrotik I’m 260 Mb (with Mikrotik cpu overclock at 700 Mhz)

Hi,
I have the same problem with Movistar, I think Fastrack does not support PPPoE connections yet,…I hope will be implemented in future versions.
Regards.
Same problem with Movistar 300mb/30mb
My best mikrotik download test 207mb/30mb
with movistar router 301mb/32mb
Router: RB751G-2HnD - 6.27
I am getting the same issue, bur not just Movistar, any kind of FAST internet (over 200 Mbps aprox).
Is so difficult to get the full speed, but if I setup the cheap router from the ISP we can achieve the speed.
With Avatel, in a customer, we have 200/200 (guarantee)… If I setup a SINGLE mark conn/packet, the speed downs to 100/120 Mbps… Just, with out any kind of rules, I got 200 Mbps..
Do we need to use a bigger router/cpu for fast internet? OR are we doing something wrong?
You need upgrade to 6.29.1 and enable fasttrack
Do buy a rb850, relatively inexpensive and very much fast enough.
You would read the post, I have two routers with 6.29.1 version and with fasttrack I have worst results
But the fast track doesn’t allow ip mangle and many useful stuff.
I was happy with my two mikrotik, she thought it was good, and a year they have only served to me, as soon as I got more speed the router not can to process the information, is that the problem was that the cpu is too slow, I am very disappointed.
I have looked to sell it to exchange for 800gx2 is that nobody wants these routers and gx2 is more of the duoble cost than RB951 , not will be valid for the extension of movistar in the next months at 100 Mb , only 700 Megabyte un the tests. The bad quality routers of movistar can wirk easily at this soeed whithout messing up the hair, so this routers have been for my bad buy software in the operation in that I like, but in a short time nit work, can not be spent 140 € or just use it for year
And from this point of view, the power of answer and support has been Mikrotik zero.
About fastrack use… need to use filters and rules, so it is a bit like in those condition, I think not is valid if not work wot them
Regards
you need to do all kind of mangle, queuing and firewalling at 300 mbit throughput??
you need a CCR 1009 with passive cooling
I can’t understand this answer, is incredible for me not receve solutions and have to read this thinks… My router is in my house not is profesional use, in forums in Spain all proole talk about this, I would like can use all the bandwith that I pay to my provider. I not need all bandwith, you need go to 240 km/h with you car? If your car not run at 120 yo would be happy?
I not need all you say, but I need only filter and 30 or 40 simples rules for work with a sumple nass with NAT for the ports for their applications… Torrent, vpn, very easy and simple use.
Sorry but you argument for fire my opinion is not valid :
The comtrend vg-8050 from movistar support very better the connection at 300 mb and what say at 1000 Mb that RB851G and 800gx2, what are you saying? You not understand this? Do you want to see my captures for comtrend vs mikrotik? If the router movistar gifts wgy pay mo ey for other you can’t use all your bandwith? Can you answer this?
If you don’t want to buy a routerboard that’s quick enough, just use the provider supplied cpe.
Error, can be deleted
I have two router RB951G and one RB751G, not is question about choose between buy a router or use the router of the provider.
My cpu usage is only 3% when I do the test, the test is done with ethernet cable and I receive 100% sure more of 300 MB.
With the provider’s router Comtrend vg-8050 from Movistar the speed is more hight that 300 Mb, about 315 Mb and work perfectly.
When I change the Comtrend router for my RB951 only Malosa script for Movistar the speed is about 230 Mb only, I can have more speed with overclocking the cpu, so is this the problem, is needed cpu more faster. When I add my few filter rules and NAT rules, then the speed only is of 210-230 Mb. I am not using queue simple or queue tree or mangle, so this not is the problem.
I love Mikrotik, and all things I can do, but in this post… who want help to say any solution? People only talk defending Mikrotik. The question not is if Mikrotik yes or not of if Mikrotik us provider´s router, the question is the 850gx2 is expensive for me and not is sufficient so In the forums in Spain the people are selling will wait to other router that can support 1000 Mb or higher or other manufacturer that support this speed.
The question is I think :
This fastantic router has becomo to be old too son.
The next generation not is valid for me becouse not support 1000 Mb for the next Movistar bandwith
I am expert user but I not need very very special requeriments, only nat and a few filter rules, so the comments about I not buy Mikrotik or I need very high requeriment , these comments simply too many. There seems to be too fanatical or advocate mikrotik here and nobody brings no solution, only fight against someone who has bought some apparatuses and makes it obsolete and no one seems to recognize.
As I say I was looking for a solution and as option to buy a model to support this speed, but the RouterBoard 850Gx2 (mistakenly I think I put before the 800) the cost is higher 131 € and it does not have wifi, so the cost is almost double what cost me the RB951 and also not worth me to the next Movistar hop rate to 1000Mb (is near this announce), which does not make sense to buy now to occur as the RB951.
I’m just showing a question and waiting for Mikrotik take action on the matter, it is not for everyone criticize or put to debate with me, the facts are the facts and for domestic buyers RB751 Mikrotik and RB951 the 850gx2 not solution nor is it already has limitations or the cost.
Regards
P.D. Excuse me for the double post, but I can’t modify the post and that wrote from the phone and I Submit without finish to modfy my post.
totally agree
This afirmation is false, RB951G and RB850 are more slow than Comtrend VG-8050 from Movistar.
You job for Mikrotik? Please say any that can help to all person that we have write in the post that Mikrotik is more slow that the Movistar’s router, and not try to lie to the people, the Mikrotik can be more practical, and efficient, may be more complete in general, but not is enough faster, in fact is the most slow.
Please say the true, Comtrend from Movistar ACTALLY IS MORE FASTER THAST ALL MIKROTIK MODELS LIKE rb751,RB951 and rb850g/gx2 and the same of last model from the other manufactures.
Mikrotik is sleeping? Or all Mikrotik personal are writing in this post? Please work more and better to solve our problems, the customers we can’t buy new router every year.
And stop trolling.
