Hi to Mikrotik’s staff, one question, when will be support / download for RB5009 available ?
On download page is not a singe word about rb5009…
Thx.
I just received my RB5009, and it comes with 7.0.5 RouterOS.. when it checks for upate, it says latest stable version is 6.48.4 !
if i am not mistaken,
The new Mikrotik Devices (like the RB5009) will only support RouterOS v7 and higher.
At the moment there is no Public version of a “v7 Long-Term” or “v7 Stable” available
If you buy a RB5009 Device it will come with a non-Public v7 Stable.
I assume as soon as V7 is ready, you will be able to Update / Downgrade to the actual Public Stable.
The preinstalled 7.0.5 can be upgraded only to a better v7, currently I suggest upgrading to 7.1rc4 which is a much better version in all aspects.
v6 can’t be installed on RB5009, the update checker is mistaken
Sorry Normis, the update checker is not mistaken, it Mikrotik who is just sloppy.
I stated this before and it was ignored, as useal.
This I get when click on the RouterOS current release download button on the RB5009 page.
where did you buy your device? i couldn’t find it
Nothing ?
Any change ?
Public Stable Release for version 7 will be within the next 6 weeks … so patience is a virtue …
In Winbox 3.31 – for System/Packages/Channel/ … select upgrade and THEN you will see the latest available for your specific device
Is there any support for L3 HW offload on RB5009? And, especially, NAT?
+1
the question is how this was left behind? also the RB5009 have no way to use it’s switch with different vlans without completely loosing fasttrack support.
Just FYI, since today I am using redundant power supply.
First power is standard 24V power supply from box, which came with rb5009.
Second power supply is 12V power supply connected to connector from side.
So far, so good.
I am write this here cause I do not find info about redundant power supply options on rb5009 anywhere.
Product page spends quite a few bits describing the 3 ways of powering RB5009.
I just migrated to a new RB5009UG+S+ from an RB3011. I have encountered a download speed performance issue that is easy to duplicate. When the RB5009 ether1 WAN port is “advertising” 2.5G full duplex and is connected to a 2.5G ISP modem with gigabit speed service, the data transfer speed drops by about half to 300 to 400 Mb/s. If I remove advertising 2.5G and only advertise 1.0G full duplex, the transfer rate increases to 650 to 850 Mb/s. CPU load runs about 1 to 10% in all scenarios. Bypassing the RB5009 and connecting directly to the ISP modem yields a fairly consistent 850Mb/s. There are no other switches, routers, or devices in the chain. The ISP modem is a Motorola MB8611.
I am running firmware 7.1. Basically a factory reset configuration with a fast-track firewall setting.
One of the reasons I opted for the RB5009 is the 2.5G WAN port. I didn’t want to use an SFP+ module until I had a much faster Internet service speed available in my area.
…can be powered in 3 different ways
It’s not saying anything about redundancy.
You’re right, it doesn’t. So one can assume (yeah, mother of all …) it’s the same way as with other mikrotiks with more than single powering source: it will draw power from source with highest voltage. If that one fails, it’ll use the one with highest voltage of the remaining sources. If multiple sources provide same voltage, device will draw power from all of them. Selection of power source with higher voktage is nothing magical: all power inputs are wired together over a diode (per powering source) to block egress current/voltage.
Probably some interaction between bufering in the WAN device (which has to smooth bursts exceeding 1 Gbps). If flow control is disabled on RB5009, then WAN device can only drop some frames and dropping frames affects TCP throughput a lot. Try to enable flow control on WAN port to see if it helps.
have you checked this with latest V7.1 ??

Thank you for the suggestion. I gave it a try but it did not have any affect. I still have slow speeds when ether1 is set to 2.5G. I think I will order an SFP+ module to see if it can provide proper performance on the cage port.
be aware copper rj-45 10g module generate a lot of heat, rb5009 uses passive cooling, adding this module will increase overall temperatures
I have a very similar problem, but in my scenario, I have 4 VLAN’s and I’m using 2.5G port as an access port for LAN.
If it advertise as 1G then speed is OK, but when advetising 2.5G, speed is below 800MBits when connected to other 2.5G nic (tested with QNAP PCI and usb 2.5G).
Have 7.1 version installed. Still no hardware offloding option.
