Hello all ,
I am new to this forum and MicroTik in general . I have a new RB951G-2HnD Routerboard in use for a small office of 3 computers and NAS accesing the internet trough a main router from the ISP (inacessible) . The router I used before was configured trough a Dynamic IP setting and acted as a switch for our computers .
I have installed the MicroTik and let it configure itself - that was the easy part , all is working really well on the internet part. The problem is the very very slow ethernet speed inside the lan - PC < >NAS . When only one computer is powered , Lan transfer speeds are about 100mbs from PC to NAS (which is not exactly stellar but does the job) , but when all 3 PCs are working the transfer speed varies dramatically from 100mbs to 5kbs and sometimes it just completely hangs for seconds making the network unusable . Can anyone help me figure out what exactly is the problem here ? This never happened with the old cheap Tp-link router we had before , and it is surely a configuration problem .
I thank you all in advance !
I am new to Mtik as well. I will take a chance at helping you identify your issue.
If you go to Bridge > Port, click on each ether interface, and see whether hardware offload is checked.
Can you post your bridge port and interface list.
Thank you very much for the prompt answer . I link bellow a screenshot of the interfaces and bridge port . I checked and all the interfaces have hardware offload ticked already . Do you have another idea ?
Thoughts:
- If you used Mtik’s prebuilt configuration, what mode did you pick.
- The link to your ISP’s router is plugged into ether1 (the wan port in your config) in your Mtik?
I tried HomeAp , PTP Bridge but the results are the same . The ISP links is in the first port . Internet is fine (quite fast comparing to previous router) but the Lan speeds continue to be slow and unpredictable . Sometimes copying files makes the File Explorer go “Not responding” and the speeds turn to 0kbs for a couple of seconds and then return to some modest speed. Thank you for your thoughts , they are much apreciated , but so far the problem remains .
