I'd choose the RB4011 as a router only + a cheap wifi AP. Currently I'm using an RM149 Aztech FG7008GR which is basically 5HacQ2HnT.

Am able to get sustained 850Mbps using 3-chain wifi to LAN locally. Dun have a 4-chain device.

Yeah, using the Aztech router. MBP shows link speed as 1300Mbps ie: 433x3
Unfortunately the Aztech can't see any link info.

MBP <--wifi--> Aztech <--Gbe--> Server

Mind you, it's just an artificial iperf3 test.

Can you post "/export compact hide-sensitive" ? Just dump the whole thing , it's not too long. Remove any sensitive info. No need to do any guesswork if you can do this.

Can you ping 8.8.8.8 from PC? If no, probably masq is set wrongly.

Can you dig or nslookup google.com and get an IP address? If no, maybe DNS set wrongly.

As for DHCP, is your PC getting the correct ip, mask, router ip and DNS? DNS should be the router.

Since you were having prob earlier, did you start from scratch? 1. Reset to defaults 2. Use Quickset for initial settings?

Google and OpenDNS works. Put the IPs in /ip dns and uncheck pppoe-client's "use peer dns". Uncheck so your router only use the DNS defined by you. Checked also can, your router will use the DNS you set plus the ones that PPPoE gets from TM.

hAP AC2 & hEXGr3 are the 2 cheapest Mikrotik's that can support up to 800Mbps.

I suppose you want to upgrade your wifi to AC. If that's the case then hAP AC2 is the obvious choice.

If you need router only, no wifi then hEXGr3 is slightly cheaper.

A few things to note. From my experience using hEXGr3.

hEXGr3:
1. Can support 800Mbps with Fasttrack, no problem. ie: basic config is OK but once you start using queues or other stuff, it'll slow down. Worst case (Fasttrack off) 300-400Mbps.
2. If you use VLANs, eg: internal VLANs or a HyppTV/Internet trunk. The most it can handle is 500-640Mbps. This is because bridge port hw_offload is disabled when vlan filtering is on. Maybe can be avoided using switch chip vlans.

hAP AC2:
Have not played around much with this but it looks good. It can handle 500Mbps with Fasttrack off. Have not tested with 800Mbps.

I'm planning on replacing the hEXGr3 with hAP AC2 in the next few days to see how well it handles the vlans and my HyppTV trunk.

As of now, I think go for the hAP AC2. The only things going for hEXGr3 are more RAM (256vs128) and SD card slot. Also early production runs of hAP AC2 had 256MB instead of 128MB.

Trying out hAP AC2 as my RB750Gr3 was not fast enough to handle Turbo800 due to my use of local VLANs and a VLAN trunk for HyppTV and Internet.

Happy to report hAP AC2 more than capable. See the screen recording for CPU usage. HyppTV is also streaming at the same time as the test. Have to put off buying the RB4011 for now.

hAP AC2
ether1 - Unifi BTU
ether2 - vlan 50 and 600 trunk to RB2011UAS downstairs
ether5 - to my MacBook Pro (Thunderbolt GbE adaptor)

Fasttrack: ON
Bridge ports hw_offload: OFF (auto off due to vlans in bridge)

VLANs configured are 500, 600, 50 (ipv4 LAN), 56 (ipv6 LAN) and 70 (IoT LAN)

Yeah, pretty good right? And quite consistent too with OVH SG.

Normally I would use speedtest.tm.com.my but I've been getting fluctuating results from both 203.121.106.74 and 58.26.239.30 of 500-750Mbps. Seldom goes above 800. Not sure what the problem is. Perhaps many people, like me , who still haven't gotten over the novelty of speed testing 800meg.

Anyway the most consistent tests now are with http://testyourspeed.time.com.my and speedtest.net OVH Cloud SG.

I think should be no problem for routing. What speed is your internet?

My auntie’s Office is using an old RB750Gr2 with Unifi 100Mbps and approx 120 active devices during the day. Roughly 40-50 PCs/laptops and the rest are mobiles. Runs quite well and stable.

Does this happen to you? I'm on hAP AC2 6.44beta54.

tl;dr: DHCP server works even when disabled.

Disabled DHCP server.
Disabled static DHCP leases
Reboot router.
Reboot PC.
PC and all other devices on the network still gets its IP addresses assigned via DHCP according to its respective static leases.

Yes, it's the only DHCP server defined. No other DHCP servers, not even disabled ones.

Mikrotik RB750GL from 2011. Still relevant in 2019.
RouterOS 6.43.12
Fasttrack ON
CPU Usage: ~80%

Tested on Turbo 800Mbps.

Very nice bro. How fast can the RB4011 go with Fasttrack OFF?

Seriously? That's really slow. About the same as the hAP AC2.

Just thought I do a quick test with hAP AC2 6.44rc1 with Fasttrack OFF. A but surprised.

cpu0 & cpu1 at constant 100%


server is TIME, not sure why it's 600miles.

Will double check later but:
1. Fasttrack rule disabled
2. Fasttrack counter dummy rule does not increase

Fasttrack ON as per my earlier test is slightly higher at 850Mbps with substantially lower CPU%.

If possible, test again please. I'm planning to get the RB4011 but not if it can't route 800Mbps with Fasttrack off.

Thanks but that's not what I'm looking to do.

It's awesome! Definitely planing to get one. What do you think of mx510's test results?

Me too. Cheap(ish) awesomeness.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=91511605

Any old spare router? Or just get something used and cheap. Plenty of almost new UniFi freebie WiFi routers available in Garage Sales. Personally I’m using Singtel’s freebie, the Aztech FG7008GR(AC). RM150 new for quad chain 5Ghz. If you have someone to buy it for you, a forumer here bought one from Carousell SG for RM80.

eurodk, Sublime and Synchroweb.

Wait guys, don't forget the hAP AC2, that's the Wira with Evo9 engine.

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.
