Hi, On amazon.it the CSS326-24G-2S+RM model price (143€) is now low enough to sway me from maybe to definite buy to upgrade my homelab. How much reliable/stable is SwitchOS? Is it hard to use/configure? Anybody have tried that model?

Do you think there is a point into shelling out for the dualboot model or the swos image is adequate enough? I only plan to use it for l2+vlan. I took a look at the "extensive" documentation and didn't see any reference to ipv6, the management is ipv4 only, is that right?

Understood, i was expecting an anemic l3 performance anyway given the switch chip and ram. Shame about IPv6, as it is the CSS would be the only device in my household that runs as ipv4 only :/ Are you using the 10g port with dac cables, optical or copper? I would like to buy a css along a s+rj10 sfp to connect it to my nas but i never used mikrotik with sfp+ so i'm a bit wary(they cannot do worse than ubiquiti but i still don't want to have issues to save some pennies).

I've found this link on the CSS product page https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/MikroTik_SFP_module_compatibility_table . From the main table a CSS326 looks ok with S+RJ10 model sfp+, I just hope that qnap QM2 10gbase-t card won't make a fuss with mikrotik gear

Howdy, I have just setup a simple CHR VM on my QNAP. I wanted to add thedude server package, the wiki suggest adding a second disk to keep the historic data. How much space should I provision to the VM to keep say three months for your average household?

redeyes posted:Edge Router X or Mikrotik HEX for a business network with like 40 devices. 60mb down with 12mb up (Comcast business). Only need a few port forwards and firewall rules. Nothing major. Do you need to use VPN? VPN performance is kinda weak on a ER-X

redeyes posted:Yeah I do. Mostly for checking video camera stuffs. Only for a couple people at a time at most I think. They are kinda bottom rung devices, both are switch chips used as routers so don't expect world record breaking performance. Have you got any experience on edgerouters or mikrotik? I'd say pick the one you are more confortable with from taking a glance at the docs.

FunOne posted:Is this a safe space to ask about Unifi gear as well? I recently upgraded the house to add a second AC-Lite AP, but on both of them I have ~20% utilization on the 2.4ghz spectrum (according to the dashboard) basically all the time. Doesn't seem to matter what channel I set it to, and the port stats from my router don't show meaningful traffic. That's frequency interference/overhead. Did you set transmit power to low/mid to 2,4/5?

EssOEss posted:Sounds like you need some nice MikroTik statistics! If you hate money like me you can do the same with unifi -> https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011813968-UniFi-AirTime-What-s-Eating-your-Wi-Fi-Performance-. It's as badly engineered as it looks from the docs, in no way equivalent as airmarshall as they like to claim in all their promo material.

In case you are like me and you need to get some quick and dirty network diagram with network bandwidth usage (and you cannot be assed to get cacti/observium/librenms up and running), you can set up a free CHR instance and use the dude without any restriction. It might lack the finesse of the more famous platform but it does the trick in a hurry. EDIT: It seems like there is a new major release (6.44), updating my CHR pretty much nuked most of the conf, maybe i was unlucky but watch out and backup everything before upgrading.

SamDabbers posted:Also why do so many people seem to prefer openvpn when IPsec performs better on these platforms, and there's a native L2TP client built into Windows and MacOS? Windows 10 L2TP client is hosed since 1809 so maybe that's the reason? If you use password rather than certs you need to start the session using powershell instead of the conventional gui.

If you REALLY hate reliability, ROS 7 beta 2 has a CHR image now...

Thanks Ants posted:I am really confused by their strange ethernet repeater products and termination kit though - though maybe in Central/Eastern Europe it makes perfect sense to wire up large apartment blocks, but it's not like terminating fibre is expensive anymore. "If you want to do a out-of-spec length wiring job and all your techs can only do copper termination" This is the GPeR use case. There is a surprising lack of interest in retraining techs from copper crimp/punch to fiber splicing in a lot of firms which historically used copper for every link-type.

Kreeblah posted:Oh, hey, this thread isn't dead yet. 1. It’s relatively stable but it’s not going to rack up months or years of uptime if you keep it current with updates. Most base to intermediate kit is fan less so it shouldn’t be a problem noise wise. 2. You are far better off subscribing to the free tier of cloudflare, upload your current domain objects and just use the mikrotik as a cache from that. 3. Never done openvpn, only l2tp, which is far from the best compared to other systems. 4. Every mikrotik router device is sold with a full license, you need to worry about license only if you white box your router(best option is a chr vm). 5. Every device is standalone AFAIK. You can manage ap in a sorta managed way. 6. Their high end l3 switches suck rear end at routing so forget about it. 7. Their latest routers provide a sfp+ cage so you should be golden for nbase/10g.

Weird Uncle Dave posted:Does Mikrotik STILL not have any 802.11ax stuff? I'm due for a new home AP/router, but I don't want to buy something that's not at least sorta current. Mikro wifi is always been weird, if you want a single purpose device i would suggest other option but i second the router+AP separation suggested by other people(albeit without unifi which i only have bad stories to tell about).
