I'm pretty happy so far with mine. I just miss the tools at the console level vs Linux. Apart from that I'm impressed with all the features built into RouterOS.
I was playing around with the WiFi 5g this vs that. The A7 is 2 mtrs away from me behind the telly and the Mikrotik Hap ax2 is upstairs in a cupboard, testing with AC Card only 4 Thread UDP BTest Sever running on the router.


I'm confused. The router I have that the person asked about doesn't have wireless

Sorry my bad, I bought a Mikrotik Hap ax2 a little while back which is what I was referring to. So all the tests are from a laptop with a Realtek RTL8822CE M.2 which has 2 WDR 3600 Antennas plugged into it. I'm testing 80-wide to an Archer A7 then to my new Mikrotik Hap ax2 re the graph above. The Reason I asked is because I've not seen you comment on your new device since you created the Thread. I was looking at buying one in the future!
Ahh right ok cool. I'm hopeful that I can have it up and active within the next few weeks.

All I tested in it was the poe capability lol.

I am waiting for the rewiring of my house to be done which is blocked by the roofing job and i am waiting for the community fibre to be installed (I have pushed that back 4 times now!)

Is there such a thing as an SFP+ that runs at 2.5Gbps? I thought the underlying interface was always 10Gbps.
Yes i laready have some of them running at 1gb speeds
Mikrotik S+RJ10


Yes but No - it's up to the switch to implement anything other than 10Gbps (most switches won't)


Edit:
Nothing mentioned on the compatibility matrix or support page about it not running at 2.5Gb in the CRS309-1G-8S+
But on the routerOS via winbox, there is no option to select 2.5gb on the ports

To upgrade, click "Check for updates" at /system package in your RouterOS configuration interface, or head to our download page: http://www.mikrotik.com/download

If you experience version related issues, then please send supout file from your router to [email protected] or through support system. File must be generated while the router is not working as suspected or after some problem has appeared on the device
Can it be upgraded via the winbox?
