Router Recommendation (UK)

Tue Feb 23, 2021 9:51 pm

Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could recommend one of the Mikrotik Routers that will meet all of my needs listed below. I have a 1GB BT fibre connection to my house, terminating at a Openreach modem.

My requirements are:-
1. To be able to support the 1Gb connection with no lose of speed.
2. Must be rack mountable.
3. Allow port forwarding (use this to access my CCTV).
4. 2x SFP connections. I have 2 switches and I would like to connect each to the router with a SFP cable. I think this is possible? My thinking is that if one of my switches goes down the other will still be up.

I think that's about it really! Many thanks in advance.

ps. I am looking at the RouterBOARD CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+

connect your switches together and keep your network traffic off the router.

Ah yes, good point about keeping them off the router. I actually have them like that at the moment but for some reason I thought it might be better the other way. Thank you for pointing that out.
