Performance Mikrotik RB2011UAS-2HnD-IN

Question

Iron

Good afternoon.

I'm trying to evaluate the prospects of this piece of iron as a home router.

The main issue that confuses now is performance.
In tests in the routing mode, the results are in the region of 900 mpbs in one direction, but I can’t get more than about 250. Prots in the regiment.

Stand: Behind Mikrotik - the first PC, Mikrotik as a client is connected to ASUS RT-N56U, the second PC is also connected to it.
On the second PC I run the server, on the first - the client. I test, thus, apload.
Downloading - torrents on a direct gigabit connection.

From the settings on Mikrotik - everything is default, except for the SSID and password. As an experiment, I cut down all the firewall rules - the increase is minimal.
Router OS 6.5 Firmware 3.10.

On the same bench under the same conditions, the TP-Link WDR4300 made on the same chip gives quietly 900 megabits / s.

Can you suggest in which direction to dig? Or bury?

Answer 1

Not quite an honest test is obtained, IMHO. Connect both PCs to Mikrotik and try again.
Also, in the default configuration of Mikrotik, as far as I remember, ether2 is master, ether3..5 is slave. Make a bridge out of them and try it.

Answer 2

Well, for starters, I would have assembled a stand only on Mikrotik. Performance copper-copper, copper-wifi.
It is better to roll back the firmware to 5.26 - it is more stable.
Well, let's look further...

Answer 3

Do you suggest hooking the first PC to the conditional van, the second to the conditional lan and testing the speed between them with an ayperf?
Other options, except for van2lan in the sense of home routers, are not particularly interesting to me, even if there is 900 Mbps.
