Any idea about zero counters? :)

Another info:

Is it possible to be something related to the hardware?

Does 750G belong to mentioned 7xx series? It is 750G, not 750GL:

P.S. Just before submitting the post I found another router 750G in my network and it has the same counters.

I believe fast track is not functional on 7th series

check MUM 2016 USA you may find a good presentation about fast track on youtube.

Fasttrack works fine for me on RB751U-2HND, for example.

Yes, it is not related to the whole 7xx series, I have RB750 working fine too.

On my RB750G fasttrack does not work, maybe old switch chip

Anyone know why my counter for fasttrack says 0 on both client and server Grooves?

I was getting 90 Mbits but these days I get barely 30Mbits in bandwidth test... I dont know what is going on, thinking that maybe one Groove has a hardware failure

On my CCR, Fasttrack does not become active until I enable Route Cache (RouterOS v6.38.5) - maybe it should be mentioned in the Manual?
