Mikrotik RB2011UiAS-RM vs RB3011UiAS-RM?

Question

network hardware

Hello.
Such a dilemma.
I want to buy RB3011UiAS-RM now, but I have to wait 2 months.
In what can I lose a lot by taking RB2011UiAS-RM?
from the functionality that you need:
1) Nat (uplink 50 megabits),
2) VPN / pptp for remote access (used by a total of 10 people),
3) HTB shaping on a part of the internal subnet,
4) Monitoring the availability of the uplink, in case of a fall it switches to backup channel (just changing the default route), followed by notification by mail).
Does it make sense to wait for the RB3011UiAS-RM or will the younger model be enough for me?

Answer 1

There is no point at all for 50 Mbps of traffic in the 3011 series, even 2011 has a several-fold performance margin in such conditions (unless, of course, there are 200 nat rules, L7 / content filters and branching htb for a couple of hundred classes). Perhaps even RB951G-2HnD is better if you don’t need an l5 license and extra 100m ports

Answer 2

In my youngest all this will do.

Answer 3

If the network grows (as described in the first answer) - wait for 3011, a very tasty piece of iron. And if the task is the same as you described, then, indeed, RB951G-2HnD will suffice. And so - see for yourself.
