Hello Networkers,

Started a new broadband ISP using fiber optic (Wired) network. I want to know which mikrotik model/hardware can handle 50 to 100 users using PPPoE Service? ( Only PPPoE server is configured no other services are running currently in x86 system which is connected to my main ISP's radius).
Basically i need hardware for small setup, currently i have 35 users and low budget . so please suggest other than CCR series.

I apologize in advance if this post is repeated.

Hi Elgoncalo..

This https://routerboard.com/RB750Gr3 high performance for up to 200 users low cost 59.95 USD (2 core x 880 Mhz and 256 MB RAM)
This https://routerboard.com/RB3011UiAS-RM very high performance up to 500 ppoe users 179.00 USD (2 core x 1.4 Ghz and 1 GB RAM)

Regards.

Hi gustavomam,

Hey thanks for your valuable suggestion . I will definitely go for RB750Gr3 it is a perfect device for entry level, compact with low power consumption.
also i have a query about RAM size .. what size of RAM needed for 50 to 100 users (using PPPoE service and no other extra services.)

It is not a easy answer. It depends in how much traffic will the router handle per client.

• If you are using queue buffering will take part of RAM
  If you are using tracking connection will take part of RAM

Is this a active topic?


In my scenario which device will you consider to use it

300 IP i the same broadcast domain.
6000 packets per second
Bandwidth 50 Mbps 1:1 Full duplex

Even i have Started a new broadband ISP using fiber optic (Wired) network. I want to know which mikrotik model/hardware can handle 150 to 500 users using PPPoE Service? ( Only PPPoE server is configured no other services are running. I have majority of the customers having 100 mbps plan.I want a to deploy gigabit network.
Basically i need hardware for small setup, currently i have 150 users with high mbps plans and low budget . so please suggest other than CCR series.

Hi hanif11

Congratulations for your new Network
after 2 years i am posting my experience about mikrotik hardware.
i have started 2 different locations and using 2 different type of devices one is RB 3011 UIAS which is currently carrying 60 users load (max support users or packet load not observed) and other is CCR 1009-7G-1C-1S+ which is carrying 300 users load with 20k+ packet load ...both devices are smooth in transmission and consumes low power ....Happy with both devices .

Hi Elgoncalo,

Thanks for your reply .I was really confused you gave me a way to come out of my confusion.
But i have all optical fiber deployed in my network with input to all switches connected with Spf ports and the then from normal gigabit ports to customers.But in this model CCR1009-7G-1C-1S+ - C.. all output ports are RJ45.
Is there any way to use fibre optic.

Depending on number of ports you need, CCR1016-12S-1S+ might do the magic for you.

Its have one sfp port kindly check specifications
