anyone got any script to build a good home router? I found the Dmitry's firewall guide and the one article for home router. I'm still reading and checking the wiki page to understand more. It will be great if any sifu here can share your opinion and guidance

my 750GL router already up and running I use IP mangle for packet classification (short list though) but also decide not to use QoS yet. My port scan rule add my own PC into blocked list...maybe too strict I do not have time for it now.

I agree that NAT enough for most. I bought microtik to learn new stuff and other benefit is able to use my old D-link 655 wireless as AP. I hope the supposely upcoming Asus RT-N66 or 57U will be a good replacement later.

spend some time RTFM before finalize my firewall setup. I actually like the idea of using packet classifier and filter from there . So, my firewall is based on the Dimitri's guide and modified it for my own requirement. I already secure the router and SSH and winbox only allowed from local. just that I never really test the firewall properly.

Added on October 20, 2011, 4:10 pmcurious question:

I notice that my router's cpu speed is 250 (not 400). I have no complain about the performance. Just want to clarify.

Is the rb750gl default cpu speed set to 250?

Strange. I should have check 1st before upgrade to bootloader 3.7 and RouterOS 5.7. Now I don't know why it is set to 250 only. Going to try change the cpu speed tonight.

I'm not a sifu..just a beginner that do a lot of RTFM. I still new to this

this is the command to set the cpu speed. Need to reboot the router after that.

system routerboard settings set cpu-frequency=400

to check configurable speed?
system routerboard settings set cpu-frequency=

RB750 users, did anyone upgrade to version 6.x? Worth the upgrade? I'm still using 5.26.

I’m using rb750gl, thinking about upgrade to hex or hex s. Partly for free unifi upgrade 500Mbps upgrade and for newer hardware 😅

Where do you guys buy the Mikrotiks? Anyone to recommend? Also, anyone using hex s?

I only found Hex S from sublime Telekom. I don’t need SFP now. Black box and possibility of using hardware vpn when needed are the reason for me to choose S over normal Hex. Different only RM20.

Maybe get new ac WiFi router as AP later.

Actually is 30 more. Price for copper is 99 and optical 55 on lelong. For the AP, better to use cAP or others? Thinking about mesh deployment.

Rb3011 not good enough? That ccr cost 2k 😅

Thanks for the info. How is the performance of cAP? Good enough for normal home use? Thinking to build mesh with Mikrotik. Let me know if there are other better option.

Planning to get CCR1009 with Unifi ac pro soon. Are those TM unifi guide for Hex still apply to CCR?

What is the distance?

When this will available in Malaysia. Too late for me, already bought other Mikrotik router.

USD 249 (Wifi)

USD 199

Or wait for RB4011? Any news when it will be available in Malaysia?

I own one but I never tested it because from what I gather, better to get Hex or something else. Processor too slow. Now it is just a simple switch for my wired devices.

double post..

You can check out the RB750GL with 500Mbps Unifi below. CPU 98%

What is your CCR1009 model, comes with 7 or 8 gigabit port? Older model (8 gigabit port like CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+) contain switch. They remove the switch in newer model (7G). Check the block diagram for your model).

I bridge by LAN connections due to missing switch. I'm still looking at UBNT 8 port 60W switch...not sure when to pull trigger

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

Did you check network cable? Use at least cat 5e.
