Hi,

Just got a new RB951G-2HnD. After unboxing and connecting I've made a firmware update to 3.10 and RouterOS to 6.7.
After that the only changes I've made to the default configuration is a new password for wlan/admin account, UPnP on and one VNC port forward for one machine.
When this was done I've proceeded with some speed testing. What I've found out is that I can only get around 70mbps out of my 250mbps bandwidth when connected by cable. Without router it goes up to a full 250mbps without problems. This was tested simply by downloading a few torrents with a lot of seeders. When tried speedtest.net it was even worse than that.
Wireless does no better then that and shows Link Speed of only 72mbps on both my android device (Xperia Z1) and a laptop with real speed at around 20-30mbps (20/40Mhz HT Above enabled). Both devices support 802.11n fully.
I'm completely new to RouterOS and any advice is appreciated.

Post /export so we can see what your router is doing.

There ya go:

Hi,

Without router it goes up to a full 250mbps without problems. This was tested simply by downloading a few torrents with a lot of seeders. When tried speedtest.net it was even worse than that.

Can you check if the link speed to the modem is 'gigabit'?

Wireless does no better then that and shows Link Speed of only 72mbps on both my android device (Xperia Z1) and a laptop with real speed at around 20-30mbps (20/40Mhz HT Above enabled). Both devices support 802.11n fully.
I'm completely new to RouterOS and any advice is appreciated.

This is pretty normal. The telephone probably has 1 antenna / 1 chain. Please disable TKIP encryption, leave only AES on. You might gain some speed.
I don't know what kind of wireless card and antenna configuration the laptop has. It's maybe the same cause as the phone.

ether1-gateway says:
Auto Negotiation done
Rate 1Gbps
Full Duplex

TKIP is already disabled, still 72mbps. Isn't it supposed to be a half of 300mbps with 1 antenna - 150mbps?
