Such break-ins may result in private data being stolen and distributed, valuable data being altered or destroyed, or entire hard drives being erased. Whenever different networks are joined together, there is always a threat that someone from outside of your network will break into your LAN. Network firewalls keep outside threats away from sensitive data available inside the network. Along with the Network Address Translation (NAT), it serves as a tool for preventing unauthorized access to directly attached networks and the router itself as well as a filter for outgoing traffic. Where do I go from here? I would at least to get it working and actually understand how it's done, though I wouldn't complain if someone provided the basic configuration.The firewall implements stateful (by utilizing connection tracking) and stateless packet filtering and thereby provides security functions that are used to manage data flow to, from, and through the router. All will be connected to 1000/100 fibre via my provider's modem. I have managed to connect to the right network and I can see all the devices, both IP and MAC. I can get the hex s and the rb5009 to see the SFP Direct access cable between them though its not sending/receiving anything. I have a bit of experience in network configuration, though it has been over a decade since. My devices, WiFi printer, laptop, server and NAS as well as the usual multiple WiFi connections for the kids and their friends. This will be connected to my cable router (in modem mode) with the plan to DMZ the connection to the Rb5009. 2 Raspberry pi (the really early models) to run pihole, among other utilities.
Getting myself mentally ill by real and imagined privacy threats online I have went and got myself the following to help secure my home network: Rb5009 - the new 'home lab' which connects to, Hex S to, 1 cAP, and 1 cAP XL. Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any suggestions to try? There is very little information out there about this combo being as new as it is. There appear to be no interface errors that I can detect on the 5009 side and I cant find anywhere to check counters on the modem side. I did not switch any cables or ports during the testing, just toggled avertisement. System CPU stays single digits while running any of these speedtests. Turn 2.5G advertisment on? back to 400Mbit.
#MIKROTIK ROUTERS FULL#
I noticed that when I stop advertising 2.5G from the 5009 and negotiate 1G Full my speedtests go back up to 900+ Mbits. It will properly show under "Advertising" however. The only odd thing I can note is that RouterOS doesn't show 2500M under "Link Partner Advertising" in the interface UI even if it does negotiate 2.5G. The XB7 has a clearly marked 2.5G port which will negotiate with the 5009s 2.5G port at 2.5G according to both the modem interface and routerOS. I swapped out the XB6 for the XB7 and noticed my speed tests plunge to a very predictable 400Mbits.
I have the "1.2Gbit" provisioned service and I had ordered the 5009 for the 2.5G port available on the upgraded XB7. My speed tests were all normal for a week or so consistently over 900Mbits. I installed a RB5009 (replaced a HEX) a couple of weeks ago behind an xfinity XB6 using the 2.5G port on the RB.
