Hello, I was just upgraded to Time 500mbps and have to change my router. Currently using Asus RT-N12HP at the max it does on LAN is 100mbps

Thinking of getting the Mikrotik RB951G-2HND.
Sorry for the noob question, but does this support 500mbps over LAN? And how fast is it's wifi? 300mbps?

@soonwai @jio

thanks for the all the info. Really appreciate it. I need to read up on fastpath. I have no idea what it is. I'm still considering to get the RB951G. My brother in law is giving me his D-Link DIR-860L. I wonder how both of them stack up with each other.

That's a good idea. The hex is selling for RM300, which is RM100 cheaper. How do I connect the hex with the AC wireless? I'm really new at this. I mean what kind of setting should I be using with the AC wireless. Now I'm using PPPoE.

Ah okay, got it. Thanks!

Finally got the router from my brother in law, and it's actually DIR-850L, not 860L

So far, with LAN, i can achieve about 430mbps down/up with speed test. Wireless, although I don't have the specific tools to measure, just "feeling", it feels slightly sluggish compared to my Asus RT-N12HP. Wireless Speetest with my Macbook 2009, I measured at 95mbps down/up. In terms of router software, it's horrible. Very limited. Don't even have DHCP reservation. DDNS only limits to DYN service. Port forwarding limited to 15 rules.

@soonwai

Tested again on the 5Ghz and the MBP reached about 160mbps up/down. Dyndns is not bad except that I have been using namecheap for years and already paid until 0ct 2016

Yes, the LAN speed is satisfying. I only use port forwarding. Tested the wifi with the Huawei Mate 8 (which is suppose to have ac), and the max speedtest is 25mbps. The general feeling I get is the router is good, just that it's not consistent when it comes to wireless throughput. That's a gut feeling though, not based on any measurements. Hehe.

That's a really cool feature! Would love to have that. Was thinking of buying the TP-Link Archer C7, now I'm thinking maybe should go for the Microtik again.

Ya, I think you're right, I'll use the dlink and see how it goes...but..

stop poisoning me man! I'm a sucker for scripting and rooting all things.....
