    The official Mikrotik router thread

    It was a choice between the hAP ax³ and RB5009 , the hAP ax³ looks like a decent bit of kit (It was recommended in this thread by a few) but selfishly I wanted to treat myself and opted for the more expensive RB5009 :P If you have the money I would go for it

    The official Mikrotik router thread

    I used to have quite a few mark packet rules and queues but I have found on the new router a Cake tree does the job well. My main killer was uploads, as my line is asymmetric (was 150/35 and now 550/75 down/up) PS Loving the RB5009 , really good piece of kit I need to make a plan to move it...

    The official Mikrotik router thread

    Only problem with ipv6 on Mikrotik is its not fasttrack yet , so the routing is all done via cpu On my router (Hex poe) I only get around 150mbit on ipv6 vs 400mbit line speed on ipv4 I still use it as I need it for work Setup will depend on your isp , both my ipv4 and ipv6 are static...

    Immigrating to the UK

    Is there a rule that says you must invest it on the UK side in a pension? Eg. checking with a financial planner if there is a more tax efficient way (ISA) of reinvesting as you would have been hit with tax when taking it out of SA

    Rain is still coming to collect its old 5G routers
