Hi,

Just found out that my package was upgraded to 500Mbps.

A. 1st tested and max was only 100Mbps.
B. Check it was the LAN cable, Cat 6 split into 2 connection cannot go to 1GB. Recrimp to single connection
C. Recheck and speed not is 200Mbps.
D. Found out that the Mikrotik RB750GL (quite an old model) is only 400mhz with 64GB
On TM Speedtest the CPU on the Mikrotik RB750GL = 100% when the speed test = 200Mbps.

Time to upgrade the router. Any recommendation.

Jackdon

Enable the fasttrack to the firewall rules, that reduce the CPU load.
Put it to the top of the firewall rules

/ip firewall filter
add chain=forward action=fasttrack-connection connection-state=established,related
add chain=forward action=accept connection-state=established,related
add chain=forward action=drop connection-state=invalid
*
Firmware = 6.27
Cannot seems to get this command to work
Do I have to upgrade to latest version

Not bad for a really old router. I have tons of these. Ok, not a ton, about 8 units.

I like Mikrotik router, very stable and never needed any reboot at all. Works well and very flexible with its firewall and rules. Only problem is that I am not very good at these smile.gif but I get by with google and asking here and there.

LOL, same here, I also learn from google and wiki. After awhile you know a bit more than the next guy, suddenly become sifu already. smile.gif

Now thinking of migrating to PFSense.

I have a working HP Micro Server N40L with an AMD Turion Dual Core processor 1.5GHz.
Intel Dual Port Gigabit NIC installed. PowerSupply is silent and robust small enough to put in a corner.

Should be good and fast enough rclxms.gif

Now need to do some googling here and there.
