I’m a beginner with two issues and would love some help!
Speed problem: Someone else set up my Mikrotik and since then I have upgraded my fibre internet line from 50Mbps to 100Mbps. When I connect to the ISP’s router and bypass the Mikrotik I get close to 100Mbps but through the Mikrotik I cannot exceed 50Mbps so my network is only getting 50Mbps. i have checked queues and bridges and interfaces over and over but cannot find the issue.
something on my Mikrotik is blocking ftp downloads or uploads. Sites that do not have usernames’ or passwords are insisting on a username and password which do not exist. Have tried everything. Again, bypassing the Mikrotik solves the problem, so it is not on the ISP’s end.
Any feedback for this amateur here would be great.
I have similar issues with my routerboard RB2011, but in this case if I connect thru router it gives varying speed but when I connect thru laptop, i get a higher bandwidth from the ISP
Here is the setup for my router
jun/14/2016 19:03:25 system,error,critical login failure for user tech from 91.224
.160.10 via ssh
jun/14/2016 19:03:29 system,error,critical login failure for user operator from 91

I think your problem is most likely that you’re getting used as a DNS-amplification reflector in DDoS activity.
Note that you’re getting ssh login failures from various sources…
You didn’t show any firewall filter rules, but given the above log entries, it appears that your router is reachable via the Internet. Of course open ports with public IP addresses are like bird feeders - and the squirrels (scanning bots) will be hanging all over it eating all of your bird seed…
You should consider an input chain in your firewall filter like this:
1: accept connection-state=established,related
2: accept proto=icmp (optionally with a rate limit)
3: accept in-interface=bridge1
4: drop all
Also, your bridge is configured use-ip-firewall=yes, but you don’t show any of the rules - if you’re not actually doing any filtering, then disabling this option could help performance a bit as well. Additionally, you could set ports ether3 - ether5 as slaves to ether2 for hardware switching between those ports. (and set ether7 - ether10 as slaves to ether6)
Do decrease CPU load join ether2-..ether5 in one switch, ether6-ether10 in the second switch and - if want - bridge these two switches.
I.e. ether3..ether5 use master port set in ether2, ether7-ether19 - in ether6. And than bridge only ether2 and ether6 if needed.
Difference between bridge and switch - bridge is fully software based, switch - hardware (faster, wire speed). You joined all 9 ports in bridge i.e. fully CPU processing instead using hardware acceleration. Due to ether1-ether5 and ether6-ether10 done in RB2011 on different switching chips you can’t join them all together without bridging. But can significantly unload CPU bridging only 2 master ports. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Switch_Chip_Features
From my practice - RB2011 can give ~150M on torrents (using fasttrack). In speedtest I reached ~300M for 300M Internet channel.
During download tests look at /tools profile and /system resources - what they show?
