Which Mikrotik to choose for a gigabit network?

Question

Computer networks

Hello!
In connection with the transition to a provider with a gigabit tariff, I decided to completely transfer my home LAN to 1000BASE-T. There are about 7 devices in the local area. 2 working PCs, various servers (NAS, VPN, Proxy, torrent) and wireless clients. Simple VLANs are used (router ports are divided into different subnets, L2 switches are connected to them). I would like to buy a Mikrotik router that will normally hold gigabit traffic in the local area (active use of torrents, transfer of TrueImage backups via FTP\SMB is assumed), support jumbo frames, keep the speed of 300Mbps on the WAN (this is how much the provider declares in the tariff, according to fact is often higher). WiFI will be 5GHz via hap ac lite (which now also performs the functions of a router).
I myself am looking at the RB3011UiAS-RM, but I still wanted something a little cheaper (8-9 thousand). Very interested in RB3011UiAS-2HnD-IN, but it seems to be discontinued.

Answer 1

rb3011-uias-2hnd-in never even came out, it was only planned to be released, but it didn’t grow together.
If purely in the role of a router, then rb750gr2 / gr3 will do if there are enough ports. especially since gr3 has a dual-core processor

Answer 2

You can still look at CRS109-8G-1S-2HnD-IN. In general (not advertising), look at the lanmart, they have more choice, incl. and full of discontinued models.
For good, the main criterion for you is what kind of traffic will go through the cpu and which one through the hub. It’s just that if you plan to drive traffic from a large number of ports through cpu, then you run the risk of running into the fact that the ports are gigabit, between the ports is also gigabit, and in the case of traffic through the cpu, the entire hub is only gigabit linked and the speed from port to port will be halved.

Answer 3

RB3011UiAS-RM keeps 2 providers 100 + 100 Mbps for me, while torrents at 200 Mbps load 40-60% percent (both cores) with a piece of iron more than satisfied. I can of course test performance when routing between ports .. but I don’t think there will be serious problems.
as an option, unload the router using routing on switches, now there are many models that contain rudimentary L3
