Bandwidth oddity/problem
by Karl Auer 11 Dec '25

11 Dec '25

We have a 100% MikroTik network. When we run a speedtest while directly connected (Ethernet) to our gateway router, which is connected to the NBN on an FTTP service, we see expected results: Over 250 down, over 100 up. Three 10G fibre hops, a switch, a 1GB fibre hop and another switch later, those numbers are very slightly lower. All good. BUT: Connected via 5GHz wifi to an access point attached to the first of the abovementioned switches, we get the same download speeds, but only around 35 up. With essentially no other traffic on the wifi, the test device (a laptop) no more than three metres from the access point, and with no intervening objects. My thinking is this has to be a limitation in the test device's wifi or a limitation in the access point (MikroTik CAP aX). Not sure how to prove it one way or the other. We get the same result on three different laptops, but they are all similar vintage and same manufacturer (Lenovo). Is there any way this could be a *configuration* issue? It's very consistent. Am I ignorant of a known asymmetry in 5GHz wireless speeds? Hoping for ideas, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer (kauer(a)nullarbor.com.au, he/him) work +61 2 64957435 http://www.nullarbor.com.au mobile +61 428 957160 Please feel free to deal with this email during your own working hours.

BGP Route Refresh - Invalid Subtype
by Christopher Hawker 27 Aug '25

27 Aug '25

Hello all, I'm seeing a possible bug (?) on my CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS running 7.19.4, where the router receives a route refresh from an IX route server with subtype 0 (which is a normal refresh in RFC 7313), the Tik warns that it is an invalid subtype. Is anyone else seeing similar? Regards, Christopher H.

Router backup Management
by doatesy+duxtel＠gmail.com 13 May '25

13 May '25

Hi All, Just wondering how other people manage their router backups? We manager a few routers across different clients, and we have been doing email backups to a office 365 mailbox for a while to keep historic backups of routers (both an Export/rsc and binary .backup files) , but every time I go to set it up and wage war with modern antispam configurations, I think there should be a better way. I was playing with the idea of creating a small custom SMTP server receive my mikrotik backup emails and store them appropriately (depending on client, router, and date, etc) and then do Git commits to keep track of changes on the .rsc/plain text backups, but thought I'd find out if anyone else has some good ideas. Also going down this route I can make sure all my backups go via VPN to our backup server which would be nice now that I think of it. I did notice that Mikrotik have a Cloud based backup service (which seems to be a paid option), but I always like having control over my own data (and I'll spend days of time to avoid a $5 subscription) hence the hesitation there. Anyways, would be very interested to hear anyone else's perspective on this. First time poster too, so hope this kind of question is appropriate. Thanks, Dave

USB-powered routers
by Christopher Hawker 22 Apr '25

22 Apr '25

Hey folks, Looking to build a solution that I can run entirely from a power bank. I've got a Starlink Mini which can be powered from a power bank, but I also need a low-power router that can also be used. What would be the best Tik that can do the job, if any at all? Regards, Christopher Hawker
