how's the throughput like on the ER-X ? is it able to saturate the link completely ?

I've not faced any problems with the ER-X other than the over-simplified mgmt UI. No slowdowns or complaints from anyone at home so far.

Not sure how to saturate a 500mbps fibre connection, any suggestions?

maybe multi connection download from Microsoft using download manager ? well if speedtest shows you could reach the maximum speed, no reason why others would fail either

beta.speedtest.com on a wired LAN connection gives me 480-510mbps up and down. Anyway, no one at home is complaining lol..

Hi All,

our company is currently using hAP ac lite, I had set up the VPN PPTP connection in order
to access RDP server. However, I found that the connection is not stable, the RDP session seem disconnected very few mins.

Is anyone experienced this before?

hi

Hi,

Any sifu can help with IPv6 setup.
I have setup the IPv6 package.
At router level the IPv6 is working fine. But no IPv6 address is available for my pcs and handphone on the LAN side. Looks like the network discovery is not working.

Appreciated any help I can get here

Am going to implement Unifi 100 mbps + Mikrotik + Ligo AP

What this Mikrotik router will do is to segregate the follwing:

20 mbps to firewall Wan 2
30 mbps to room 1
20 mbps to room 2
20 mbps to room 3
10 mbps to room 4

..can't wait to see the results, but config done by TM. Hope to gain something from it.

TM is going to configure the Mikrotik? Interesting.

Export and share their configuration here for peer review.

he say "Am" not "TM" :haha:

?? but he said "...but config done by TM."

oh yeah.. well then, wait to see the outcome

Hi Sifus..

Can't wait for management to sign off this project. It is also my first time exposure to Mikrotik. They have budled as:

Unifi 100mbps
Mikrotik Router RB 3011
Ligo NFT 2AC Dual Band ( 2.4Ghz & 5.0Ghz ) a/b/g/n/ac

Very nice! RB3011 is way overkill for 100mbps. I suppose it depends on what you're doing with it. It's got 1GB of RAM. Hope you don't get charged too much for it. But I guess it's ok, future-proof.

Interesting to know that TM is using Mikrotik.

Hi soonwai,

I proposed the Account manager to follow the requirements stated below:

*Bare in mind we have Fortigate Firwall 111c in mind too.

100 mbps will be split by Mikrotik to the following:

20 mbps to Firewall wan 2 (Backup line) incase wan 1 down.
30 mbps to room 1 (Ligo NFT 2AC Dual Band)
20 mbps to room 2 (Ligo NFT 2AC Dual Band)
10 mbps to room 3 (Ligo NFT 2AC Dual Band)
10 mbps to room 4 (Ligo NFT 2AC Dual Band)
10 mbps to room 5 (Ligo NFT 2AC Dual Band)

Not sure what the outcome will be, but i hope this configuration's are archivable. Saw your post in regards to replace Ligo AP with Mikrotik's AP instead, will try to repropose too. Will update time to time about this project.

Is the Fortigate or the RB3011 doing the routing? Need your network diagram. Anyway since you have Fortigate, so the Mikrotik not doing any firewall duties, so really RB3011 is overkill for this. Wouldn't hurt but you can save some money by going for a cheaper Mikrotik.

You can also ask them to implement the backup wan2 and the firewall in the RB3011 and not use the Fortigate. More work on their part though. I mean it's easier to just get a Fortigate but it's actually all doable on a single RB3011.

unifi coming soon, i might change to mikrotik

hows the performance for wifi? is it better compare to most consumer grade routers out there? i see it doesnt have antenna, signal should be good enough right ?

I choose mikrotik, really need more control over network traffic

Router wise, it's a no-brainer for its features. The RM130 router can do the same as the RM2k one. Subject to cpu & ram, of course.

But wifi is just above average. Mikrotik APs are fairly basic. They don't have the latest features nor the highest ACxxxx rating.

Off the top of my head, here're are a few good & bad.
- power is already at maximum 1w for the 2H and 5H models so that's good. Though sometimes it's better to have multiple lower powered APs.
- antennas are mostly 2dBi (RB941x, RB951x) so won't go that far on the horizontal plane (same floor). I'm using RB2011 which is 4dBi so that's better.
- internal antennas are not a problem. Rated sensitivity seems quite high.
- No 802.11k, 802.11r, and 802.11v for faster AP transitions. Only matters if you have more than one AP and if your device supports them. Asus already has some of this under fancier names.
- CAPsMAN or Centralised AP Management is really really good if you have multiple APs.
- Other than the RB2011, they are quite inconspicuous.

thanks

will get one when i got unifi
