I have RB450G (@800Mhz but frequency does not cause my problem), 100mbit full duplex connection, 3 servers and 3PCs.
I use simple queue - servers limit-at 20Mbit each/max-limit 70Mbit and rest (all home PCs together) max-limit 30Mbit. But queue works based on CPU usage - keeping it under 50%.
I want higher bandwidth (and 50+% CPU usage) - is there any way to disable “CPU usage limit”? (50% is really too low)
But queue works based on CPU usage - keeping it under 50%.
As far as I know there is no such CPU limit for queues in RouterOS, it means that you router has free resources for operation.
Run /torch to find live usage on your router, make sure Internet connection can provide users with traffic configured at queues.
I’ve choosen 1 PC to test queue (max limit 20Mbit) - he is limited at lower speed (10Mbit and lower). When I disable this rule, he instantly starts using more bandwidth (30+Mbit).
So he is limited lower than i want and connection is ok. I’m not sure if it is limited by CPU usage, but CPU usage during day is way too flat, to be normal. It starts at 2-5%, raises to 40-45%, stays there for most of the day and than falls back to 2-5% - NEVER above 50%).
Any idea why is that PC limited so low? I will change router this week and observe change (RG450G → AMD X2@2,2Ghz with routerOS). I’m still thinking about CPU usage
