Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to post my results of v7.1beta3 with hEX S focusing on Wireguard:
Device: hEX S
Raw Internet Speed: 500/500 mbps
Wireguard (Mullvad): 130 / 80 Mbps (Ping 6ms)
I noticed some things when implementing wireguard:
- I had to disable fasttrack connection in filter rules because it makes the internet unusable.
- Free memory hovers around 200 MiB, but CPU usage hits 90%+ when doing a speedtest.
- I used these instructions to setup my wireguard connection to my vpn provider: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/v7-1beta2-development-is-released/142356/1
- Using the standard wireguard client on my computer (with old router) allows me to max out my internet connection.
I’m new to the routerOS environment so any help on debugging or increasing the speed would be appreciated! After some additional testing it seems that the lack of fasttrack is what is slowing this down so much (without fasttrack raw internet speed drops to 450/400). I’m wondering if upgrading the hardware to something more powerful will fix my speed issues.
EDIT: Upgraded to 4011 and I can basically max out my connection over wireguard @ 480/500 with fasttrack off!
