RB450G expected throughput

Sun Apr 25, 2021 12:20 am

Hi.

First things first... I am fairly new to Mikrotik. I've actually used them for some time but never at a significant level so my knowledge is thin.

Mainly I'm looking for some perspective and advice here. I've had an RB450G hanging around for a while and decided to set it up today. Got everything up and running but I'm getting throughput of about 300mbps up and down on a 750mbps connection.

I took the router out of the circuit, checked again and confirmed that I get 750mbps without it. Put it back in and 300 again.

Checked the CPU load during the next bandwidth test and sure enough it ramps up to 100% and stays there. I know this isn't a new router but I thought it was decently high end (enough to handle more than 1 connection at 300mbps).

So the questions is... should this router be doing better than this? If not then I won't waste my time but if it should be able to run at close to 1000mbps and I'm maxing out at 300 then I'd like to find out why.

Advice and suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
