I would like to start by introducing myself as an enthusiast, although not a professional, who enjoys researching network technologies. I am reaching out for your assistance, as despite my efforts, I haven’t been able to find a solution to a particular issue.
Let me begin by describing my setup. I have a 1000 Mbps Download / 50 Mbps Upload internet package at home, delivered via FTTH (Fiber to the Home). My internet provider uses a Huawei ONT to terminate the fiber connection and then provides a modem to access the internet. As someone passionate about networking, I initially replaced the provided modem with a MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM, where the LAN cable from the ONT was connected to the MikroTik router, and with VLAN ID 35 configured, I was able to access the internet without any issues.
After further research, I decided to go one step further and remove the ONT device. After some investigation, I acquired a Huawei MA5671A and installed OpenWrt on it. Successfully configuring this setup, I was able to access the internet without any problems using a Keenetic Giga KN-1010. The results were flawless.
Speed Results:
However, when I tried to replicate this setup with my MikroTik device, I noticed that the speed results were inconsistent and much lower than expected, despite the fact that I believe the MikroTik device is more powerful than the initial test device. I’m fairly certain this issue is related to configuration.
I would like to share my speed results and configuration with you in the hope that you can provide guidance or help me identify the problem. If I manage to resolve this issue, I would be happy to create a comprehensive FTTH MikroTik guide.
