I have recently purchased a RB2011UAS-2HnD (great little unit) to replace a RB433UAH that's a couple of years old.
My primary reason for replacing the 433 was that when I turned on web proxy (usb store onboard), my download speeds dropped drastically and CPU use shot through the roof. The environment is a small home office with approximately 15 devices. The routerboard sits behind a Cisco DPS3925 cable gateway in bridged mode. ( http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/modem_DPC3925.html) When speed testing from behind the 433 and Cisco in bridged mode speeds maxed at about 35Mb (pings fine at 6ms). If I took the MK out of the equation and turned off bridged mode on the Cisco and tested again using it as the router, speeds came back to where they should be (110Mb). This is all in the exact same environment, only difference is MK/no MK. I thought the new router would fix this but sadly I am seeing the exact same behaviour now. Hence my mail to the list. Would greatly appreciate any thoughts on what might be the cause? Both the 433 and the new RB2011 have near the exact same config. We are talking about a lightly utilised connection. DNS and DHCP is on, a couple of wireless clients, web proxy off, connection tracking off, 5 or so simple queues, regular set of simple firewall rules, one bridge and a couple of PPP client connections. Basically, as far as router config is concerned it's doing about 5% of what it's capable of...sadly though it seems to not be able to deliver anywhere need the speeds I see from the crappy little CPE Cisco provided by my ISP. I have several RB1100 and RB1200's in the wild all running fine and delivering speeds as expected. I don't want to have to set one up home to ensure I can see speeds I'm capable off but that may be my next option unless the brains trust on the list can point me in the direction of a solution? Thanks in advance. J -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
