This guide was written by the A&A community & was tested using RouterOS 7.16.1 on several Mikrotik routers.

It was tested with the following routers:

There are many factors that affect the throughput you'll achieve, but I have tested the following devices over a gigabit fibre connection with several different speed tests, including A&A's librespeed tester at https://speedtest.aa.net.uk/, iperf3 to A&A's iperf3 server, HTTP downloads from major CDNs such as Fastly, speedtest.net, and ThinkBroadband's speed tester:

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_rm RB4011]'''~~: typically hits the 600mbit service cap with single or multiple connections~~

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_rm RB4011]'''

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ax2 hAP ax2]'''~~: approx 450mbit max with a single connection, the 600mbit service cap is hit with multiple connections~~

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ax2 hAP ax2]'''

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2 hAP ac2]'''~~: approx 350-400mbit max with a single connection, ~450mbit max with multiple connections~~

* '''[https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2 hAP ac2]'''

Please note that these tests all use large packet sizes, and if your use cases use small packets you can expect lower ~~perforamnce~~. There is no substitute for testing with your own usecase!

This config should also work well with other affordable Mikrotik routers - such as the [https://mikrotik.com/product/RB750Gr3 hEX], or the [https://mikrotik.com/product/hex_2024 hEX Refresh]. Very low end routers such as the [https://mikrotik.com/product/RB941-2nD hAP Lite] may work, but are not recommended.
