this should be it - but now waiting for further test, seems like without fasttrack seems to perform like vios rather than bmw

A few tests I did on RB750Gr3 on Turbo500.

Marginal for 500Mbps. If you're doing more with the router, definitely not good enough.

hAP AC2 on Turbo 800. Much better.

Thanks man - much appreciated on the test. Well gr3 works well for turbo 800Mbps UNIFI for the price (based on my usage above). Need far more evident to go for rb4011

Are you able to reduce the heat from hAP AC2? mine is hotter than the previous Mikrotik RB751U, is still bearable, but thinking to reduce it if possible.

Currently I'm running it with both radios off so it's just slightly warm. I'll check the temp with both radios on.

Yeah. It's because of higher clock speed and ARM architecture. I was waiting for RB4011 last year but pull the trigger on CCR since there is no news about the release date. Any buyer for ccr1009-7g-1c-1s+?

Okay. I suspect is due to different CPU used.

Hi, need all your opinion. i plan to replace my office current dlink wifi router to mikrotik.
anyone can recommend the wired router model (now got access point to handle), which can handle around 100 users.
tq in advance

What speed internet? 100 all active simultaneously?

Currently my auntie's office is using RB750Gr2 with UniFi 100Mbps. About 180 devices (many phones), maybe 50 active simultaneously. About 15 very active ones, those who handle the website, social media, shopping, etc... Always uploading and downloading stuff. And one boss who torrents.

If I were to upgrade them now, I'd go for hAP AC2. Anything above that (RB3011+) will be fine too.

your auntie's office environment similar like my office
just upgraded to 100Mbps last month, and this month received turbo upgrade to 800Mbps, but now can get around 200 - 500Mbps.

i think i can go for your suggested model: RB3011+ thanks for ur info

I think the hAP AC2 might actually be faster than the RB3011 depending on config. Go for the RB4011 if can. RB3011 is not a good buy unless it's substantially cheaper. You don't need the SFP port right?

Only thing where the hAP AC2 loses out a lot to RB3011 and above is the amount of RAM but you may not need that much RAM. Earlier batches of of hAP AC2 had 256MB but officially it is supposed to only have 128MB.

OIC....message noted.
Thanks again.....

I am considering a MikroTik router (read about it having being good bang for the bucks) for my home. I plan to keep the router and CCTV NVR in a data cabinet inside the store room (fiber wall socket will be reallocated there). About 10 Cat6a points (reserved 2 for AP one for ground floor and upstairs) since if I place the wireless router inside metal data cabinet the wifi probably won't work well?

Wireless devices I guess probably about 10 or so... phones, tablets, wireless smart switches etc.

What models could I start looking at? And also recommended wireless AP?

Assuming that you already have done wiring, use this for router in the closet. For AP, use 2 of these then add Raspberry Pi3 so that you can install the god-damn controller software alongside Pi-Hole for DNS-based adblocking.

What speed is your internet? For now, best bang for the buck would be the hAP AC2. Amazing routing performance. I use it as a router only, radios off. Slightly cheaper than that, the RB750Gr3. May struggle at 800Mbps if you're doing more than just default config.

As for APs, I just recycle my old wifi routers. The fastest one I have is the Aztech FG7008GR(AC) which has 4x4 5Ghz. Got mine for RM145 at Lazada. This is the freebie that Singtel gave away with the 500 or 1Gbps service. Not a particularly great router so many used ones available for cheap on the market but makes a pretty good AP. Someone else here got one for RM80 from carousell.sg.

The only other AP (& vlan switch for HyppTV) in my house is my trusty old RB2011UAS-2HnD, this serves the 2.4Ghz for the entire house for all the IoT stuff, Airport Expresses, older phones and laptops. It's also the RouterOS user manager (aka discount RADIUS).

Wifi is not a huge priority for me. Most important stuff are already on cable. I'm happy with 50-100Mbps on 2.4Ghz and 200-300Mbps on 5Ghz. My laptop can get 750Mbps+ in my office but no point because if I'm in there, I'll be using the LAN cable anyway.

Still have my eyes set on the RB4011 but for now the hAP AC2 is good enough. (and a lot cheaper)

I have not done my wiring, anything I should look out for?

RB4011iGS+RM comes with single passive PoE, if I'm using with two AP then I will need to get another PoE switch for them? RB4011iGS+RM --> PoE Switch --> AP?


No internet yet, the home is still in progress building. Thanks for the input! Gonna look hunt around first, but I pretty like the idea of these PoE powered AP so I don't need to have sockets at the locations.

As long as you have a cable, you can go PoE anytime. Either with a PoE switch or PoE injectors. At one time my RB750Gr3 was powered by the PoE from a hAP AC Lite. Just for fun.

If your cables are long, just make sure voltage don’t drop too much at the output end.

PoE injector means I’ll need a power socket at the location right?

How long is “long”? Is it follow the Cat6 below 90m?
