RB450G with 6.29.1 very slow over ppoe

Hello guys,

I`m having this router for a while and it worked ok , recently i upgraded my line from standard 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps connection that it is using ppoe and it seems that no matter whatever i do on the settings i cannot get more than 150 Mbps on tests with it .

So far i put my airport extreme time capsule that gets that 300 ad i would like to see if there is anything that i can tune to have my speed on the microtik or not.

with the firewall rules on it does not jump over 130 Mbps and if i put all rules off i get max 160 Mbps.

So far i`m a beginner with microtik i had that configured by a friend, today i did a full reset and i just put the ppoe client , did a test and still 170 Mbps max on clean setup.

My question is , is this router realy gigabit and if yes how much i can get from it , and what do i have to set in order to have it functional.

In the same time, do you have any ideas for temperature cooling options ? so far it is running on 60 C and it`s quite hot all the box, you can barely keep it in your hand.

So far i dont mind having that erased at all an reconfigured from 0 as long as it works properly, im planning to change the plan to 500 Mbps or even to 1Gbps but i need to make sure that i can get what i pay from the current router.

Any help is more than welcomed.

Thanks again.

What’s the ROS version? firmware version?

Have you tried rolling back a firmware version? I am running on 6.27 for the same hardware, which has been stable since deployment over 90 days ago.

It might help to see if the problem is related to 6.29.1 or not.
