RB751G low throughput

RouterOS General
1

Hi

I have a Mikrotik RB751G.
As you know this may has gig ports and I have read that it should be able to have over 600Mbit throughput WAN to LAN.

I have a 500/500Mbit internet connection but I’m only getting about 150/150 through the router. When I bypass the router I get full speed.

I use the default NAT configuration, some rules for port forwarding and a static IP provided from my ISP. WAN on ether1-gateway and LAN on ether2-master-local.

I’ve tried different TP-cables. Cat5e, cat6, shielded, unshielded, you name it.

Is this router unable to perform better? In that case I’ll have to look for another :confused:

RB751G will not ever get 500Mbps with NAT and forwarding.

hmm too bad.

Guess I have to look for something more powerful

You can see below the product description, that with 25 firewall rules, you can get nearly 170Mbit: http://routerboard.com/RB751G-2HnD
This one will get nearly 260Mbit: http://routerboard.com/RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN

I suggest this model for 500Mbit: http://routerboard.com/RB1200
