Slow internet speed in Hotspot

AnupamPradhan · Fri Dec 14, 2018 12:41 pm

I have a RB750 Gr3 as a hotspot router. In ethr1 I have 1Gbps internet connection and port 2,3,4 are in bridge mode.

My problem is while I connect my laptop in port 2 I am only getting 250Mbps speed while if I connect my laptop directly to the ISP line then I am getting 1Gbps speed.

Can sommone please help me out to resolve this issue. Why this is happening.

If you could provide your config, some observations could be made

750Gr3 does not give more than 250-300Mbps if you do not use fasttrack.
And if you use fasttrack, you loose some function like bandwidth control etc.
Also you need to make sure your bridge is setup show it gives you hardware accelerated speed.
CPU is not the best in this small cheap device.

I do not see any fast track. Should be some like this:

add action=fasttrack-connection chain=forward comment="defconf: fasttrack" connection-state=established,related

Do a reset to factory default to get the default configuration.

AnupamPradhan · Fri Dec 14, 2018 6:11 pm

As per my knowledge with the default fasttrack setting Hotspot policy dont work. If hotspot dont work then there will be no use of using Mikrotik.

I do not see any fast track. Should be some like this:
Code: Select all
add action=fasttrack-connection chain=forward comment="defconf: fasttrack" connection-state=established,related
Do a reset to factory default to get the default configuration.

What you buy are what you get.
Get yourself an 4011 and you should be good to go.

AnupamPradhan · Sat Dec 15, 2018 10:39 am

Any other thoughts on how to increase the throughput of the router instead of purchasing a new one.

bobe84 · Sat Dec 15, 2018 12:36 pm

Jotne is right either buy more powerfull hardware or use fastrack.
HEX without fastrack can only go as much as 200-300mbps.

Why do you need hotspot for your own laptop?

AnupamPradhan · Sat Dec 15, 2018 4:12 pm

I used the laptop to test the speed as I was getting only 250Mbps out of 1Gbps.

SW Version?

Found in changelog:
*) crs3xx - improved data transmission between 10G and 1G ports;

Sorry. Wrong topic.

You need to change the the router to a CCR. A CCR will handle it without issues. But lately with the new firmware I have notice there is speed issues now days.

AnupamPradhan · Sat Dec 15, 2018 4:49 pm

Then the million dollar question is which router is the one which will support 1gbps throughput. I mean the starting router which will support 1gbps.

Obviously, CCR can handle the load no doubt in that. But from all the router which was the starting model? Also, CCR is not practical for every location.

I think Mikrotik need to update it in their description and tell us the starting model of the router which can handle 1gbps throughput. I have 200+ locations where mikrotik is used as hotspot. But if I can not get a clear picture on the router performance then there is no point of using mikrotik.

i dont know happed with mikrotik hotspot . i am tied of this router .
