QUOTE(jio @ Feb 28 2017, 07:33 PM) RB750Gr3 & ER-X (I have both) is what I generally recommend for people wanting a better router but already had existing ac wifi routers/aps. RB750Gr3 routing throughput is significantly better the older single core MIPSBE RBs. But the sustained max throughput using hardware queue is a bit lower and inconsistent than I hoped for (~1600mbps instead of > 1800mbps). But still it is much better throughput than my ER-X (~900mbps) even though they have the same chipset. Maybe ER-X was crippled by design to avoid competing with ERL-3. But pity RB750Gr3 don't have POE out or else you can use it directly with wAP ac/hAP ac/hAP ac lite. Looks like RB750Gr3 or the ER-X will fit my need for a new NAT router with PPPoE linkup to Time Fibre 500mbps. Planning to dedicate my Asus AC68U to wifi duty soon, do you reckon the RB750Gr3 with fasttrack will be quicker than the ER-X with hardware-offloading? Both are priced pretty close. |

QUOTE(jio @ Feb 28 2017, 10:25 PM) I did some test before, I get about 1600mbps on RB750Gr3 & 900mbps on ER-X. Speed on RB750Gr3 seems to be fluctuates more, but the average is about 1600mbps. Tested with 1 VM as client, a router as PPPoE client, another VM as PPPoE server with encryption & compression disabled . Each VM had a dedicated LAN port allocated to it. But judging from recently updated block diagrams of RB750Gr3 indicates it only had that bandwidth throughput on some configurations. Interesting - the RB750Gr3 is cheaper too. Other than a smaller flash storage it seems to have similar specs to the ER-X. |

I'm facing some odd issues with my RB750Gr3 - have only had it for a week and it's linked up to my Time Fibre 500mbps line and my Asus AC68U 'access point'.
Simple config really - no QOS, no VLAN, fasttrack on, about 15 clients.
Streaming in Kodi/Exodus tends to stutter and scrubbing ahead or back in the video results in 10-20 secs of buffering.
When I put back my ER-X, all is good again. Hope someone's experienced this before and can share some tips. It's probably something I misconfigured but am kinda new to RouterOS so there.

QUOTE(soonwai @ May 30 2017, 10:55 PM) Try turning off FastTrack and see if that helps. Mikrotik's FastTrack does weird things some times. Are the problems occurring on wifi or cable? Thanks, soonwai. I'll try turning off FastTrack and test my RB750GR3 again. But wouldn't this increase cpu utilisation on the device? Am currently using my ER-X with both hwnat and ipsec offload enabled since I am not using QOS or DPI. |

The crazy buffering stutter in Kodi/Exodus is still there even though I'm using a premium real debrid account. Going back to the er-x. Either sell off or keep the rb750gr3 as my backup/standby router. Probably not the router's fault - it's probably due to me not wanting to troubleshoot and understand routerOS better.  |

QUOTE(calvin @ Jun 2 2017, 08:17 PM) how's the throughput like on the ER-X ? is it able to saturate the link completely ?  I've not faced any problems with the ER-X other than the over-simplified mgmt UI. No slowdowns or complaints from anyone at home so far. Not sure how to saturate a 500mbps fibre connection, any suggestions? |

QUOTE(calvin @ Jun 2 2017, 09:28 PM) maybe multi connection download from Microsoft using download manager ? well if speedtest shows you could reach the maximum speed, no reason why others would fail either beta.speedtest.com on a wired LAN connection gives me 480-510mbps up and down. Anyway, no one at home is complaining lol.. |
