Just a quick update.

Tested with hAP AC2 and hEX GR3. hap was slightly faster but appeared to have higher CPU utilisation. Going to stick with the hEX.

All the cAP AC could get full throughput. Only testing one connected device at a time and there are SFP connected switches between the structures.

Capsman doesn't slow connection or tax the CPU that I noticed.

My issues were with a mis-configured "kid control".

Thanks to all that assisted. You were much more helpful than TM support (and their slightly menacing DM received last night).

How TM lets some things through their corporate communication protocols is beyond me.

EDIT: i got it done wit hthe command line even with google ntp. Reboot, got it sync correctly. it apears that the router didnt save the time zone b4 this haha.

All 5GHz is using only ac?

I have found that some devices, especially Apple will cling onto n, rather than moving to ac when n range and good signal.

The Apple network stack is a PIA compared to other devices.

oh i fixed that...
now it sticks to 5ghz.. since theres one ap in every room... need to move out of da room for it to drop to 2.4...

sent ya a screenshot.

Finally, got my ccr to the speed that supposed to be..thank you rizvanrp..

Do you mind posting your CCR setup pictures?

It will be nice to check how it differ from my setup

I recommend those with less experience planning to setup multiple APs with mikrotik to watch this video to avoid the common mistakes.

I did some quick tests here with the hAP AC2. It's OK. Wifi performance is average for 2x2. Can't say anything about reliability yet.

Hmmm.

Every single time this guy addresses a MUM, we hear how great he is and all the training the UK Government provided him, for free. Then he starts on his usual Mikrotik supremacy and now we get his partnership spiel and his planned association with the company into UK publicly funded education.

The man has great knowledge but is no better than an Amway salesman as far as credibility goes. He is preaching to the choir. I want the gear, make it available locally as soon as released and I will buy it.

I shall persist, in watching his presentation in hope of gaining some more knowledge.

Mikrotik are outstanding products and there is no need to make the usage some magikal trick.



Watch his earliest MUM videos if you are unsure. Same old MUM BS.

Thanks to OP as hadn't seen this vid yet.

Ron is providing good info after his first 15 minutes of BS.

Here you go...

Nice one saw xiaomi ip camera hehehe

anybody using mikrotik and enjying the new speed upgrades ?

Did another test on a default config RB750Gr3. (6.44beta20)
One Speedtest
Fasttrack On: DL: 530Mbps UL: 110Mbps
Fasttrack Off: DL: 448Mbps UL: 110Mbps (50%, one CPU at 100%)

Two Speedtests
Fasttrack Off: DL: 480Mbps UL: 110Mbps (one CPU at 100%, one at 90%)

And a test on a default config hAP AC2. (6.44beta20)
Fasttrack On: DL: 530Mbps UL: 110Mbps
Fasttrack Off: DL: 527Mbps UL: 110Mbps (one CPU at 30-50%)
Will need to wait for my Turbo800 to test again.

The hAP AC2 is looking good.

depends on what model you got.

I have the old RB750G (680MHz CPU) <-- this was a rather popular model in old times, I think a lot people has this.

30mbps legacy unifi package = 30% CPU
100mbps unifi package = 65% CPU

both are fast track off @ gigabit LAN @ only 1 desktop PC.

I think this router is capable up to 200mbps only despite it has gigabit WAN port.

Sifus are there any special setting that I need to apply on my hex to enjoy my 500mb time? Currently I think I am stuck on 100mb.

I think the easiest way is enable all packages first, upgrade ROS to latest stable, then reset all settings and setup again for Unifi. This will ensure fast track and firewall is enabled for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Do enable this

You need to check your speed profile has been upgraded by TM

Otherwise it won't work
