will do upgrade router and you say better get a managed switch to separate your CCTV and PC network and other device.

what brand recommended for switch need stable

How's your ax3 wifi? I'm having so many probs with it on 7.9.

My hap ax3 running on 7.9 stable.

The wifi is working fine on both bands,only one time the 5GHz down.
I also actively ask my clients(sister and mother in law running 2,4GHz devices) weather they have disconnection or not.As per logged,no disconnection on 2GHz at this moment.

I am running default firewalls,only disable the ipsec parts and adding wireguard part to allow the traffic to the router.
DOH is cloudflare.
CAKE is configured and currently disable.
No docker what so over.

Wifi 5 is manually set @ 5260Mhz(channel 52 ) AX mode @ 20/40/80Mhz width , wifi 2 is manually set at 2412Mhz(channel 1) AX mode @ 20/40Mhz width.

It basically default config,running dual stack ipv4/ipv6.

I only have two 5GHz AX clients,Mi 10t and my desktop computer (raptor lake) (win 10) (intel ax210),both could connect @ 1200Mbps.
On 2GHz,all of them connected @ 72Mbps.(endavourOS laptop,win10 laptop,2 android phones)

The only problem i have is the constant messese log of radvd invalid mtu 1492 on pppoe-out1 from fe80::200:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx,but all website could be access using ipv6.
But this problem occur on both hap ac2 and hap ax3 since upgrading from 7.8 to 7.9( if not mistaken) or on unifi side of things.

Any abnormality,i will update again.

Hi , I'm complete newbie here for Mikrotik Routers. Does hap ax3 easy to setup just like those consumer router like TPlink and asus? Just type in PPPOE account and password then setup WIFI SSID and PW you are good to go?

Yes and no.
Mikrotik has quick set template that you could fill in your WAN credential and wifi SSID and PWD.
If you are willing to tinker,it is for you then.
The wifi6 still having some issue but if you running on N or AC,most probably doesnt have some weird disconnection issue.Still monitoring on the wifi6.

After using the quick set template I fill in my WAN credential and wifi SSID and PWD then i can connect to the internet flawlessly already or i still need to tinker the SQM and firewall thing?

SQM is a must to setup to get full download speed at torrent? as previously i have tried on a openwrt router without setup the SQM i only manage to get half of the download speed of my internet bandwidth

Normally no need to do extra settings for internet access,but if you not going to tinkering with it,better buy other consumer grade router.
Normal RM300+ router should be enough for most 90% people. And need bigger coverage just buy another one to pair mesh network.

You will need to setup some parameters for the SQM to work for mikrotik,the most queue i use if i have below 1Ghz of cpu speed,is fqcodel.On Cake,i just capped the speed to 100Mbps,just slightly below my hap ac2 cpu can handle.

You can refer my test on my 300/50 unifi on CAKE SQM.Hap ax3 have some more cpu left to use.
SQM is an intensive cpu usage.Maybe it could handle 500Mbps on Cake diff3.

You dont need sqm to get full speed at torrent.SQM is needed for better network response(like video call,gaming) if you internet is under full load.SQM also implimented if you under very low broadband speed like 30Mbps with many clients,like 20 devices constantly hogging your internet.

Most openwrt router wifi (all in one) like to name a few totolink,xiaomi (Mediatek based chip) doesnt have the cpu capability to handle 500Mbps in sqm,maybe try get desktop grade cpu and start building your router to handle it(openwrt x86).

i see i see.... previously the openwrt router i use is gl.inet GL-AX1800 (Flint) WiFi 6 on speedtest it can hit 500mbps....

i dont know why when torrent it just wont hit max speed.

tried to torrent with TIME internet's stock router can hit max speed easily

Actually,i do like gl-inet flint,but since I just used to mikrotik GUI..I just wait for them to introduce new hardware on mikrotik line up.

Maybe try spoofing MAC address on the TIME stock router and put it on your new router.

the gl.inet router not with me anymore haha.... i dont think is the MAC address issue... as for now im using the Mercusys MR80x so far so good on torrent can get max speed easily

Since your problem solve,it is ok then.No need to chase another router if current router not giving any problem.

Quite easy. Here got guide for UniFi: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5295840

@go626201 you not yet reply back

@soonwai,hap ax3 wifi 6 indeed have some problem.It is the "key handshake timeout thing",although the signal strengh is good.
On the 5GHz channel,the physical wifi indicate "down" several time but not on the 2GHz channel,but still rejecting clients on both band and on 2GHz client(running non AX devices) able to reconnect without intervention.
Sadly thou,on the 5Ghz ax device,i still need to scroll to setting and wifi,initiate wifi search and select the given AP,( client is not connected automatically after disconnected.)But,it only occur once(manual reconnecting) during 20hrs of test.

TWT problem introduce in the drivers?

Set the wifi country setting to Taiwan ada power lebih sikit. Ada tapi tak banyak. Superchannel over heat later.

Two days ago facing WiFi issue with my hAP AX3 when updated to 7.9 I have to downgrade to 7.8 then the WiFi is stable, the 7.10 beta didn't resolve the WiFi issue.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Mine were set to Malaysia,channel manually selected based on unoccupied bandwidth.
I dont need range for my application,our house is small(i catch fish for a living,not wealthy la).
I basically need 5Ghz only,since i have guest at the house at the moment,i switched on the 2.4GHz(for mobile phones).
Laptops and desktop pc all hardwired.

Later may need switch for a couple of cctv cameras.

All i need are stable responsive network,wireguard access and thats about it.wifi speed is not a concern,most of my time only at desktop pc.

Catch fish lol. I love fishing. Ada port ke bang.

I catch fish using net drifting technique.Mostly small threadfins and gonjeng.During low tide season,i went for giant river prawns using reels and hooks(baiting).

If time permits,i do occationally catch hampala using small fishing outfits,baitfinness fishing.Old normal lure technique doesnt be as effective like before since they were easily spooked.

Mostly eaten or sold if any surplus.

On networking, moving from smoothwall to ipfire to m0nowall to pfsense and now...mikrotik,is the new home for last 5 years.Kipas susah mati.😂
