Advice on choosing Correct RouterBoard.

Thu Jan 15, 2009 2:34 am

hello all,
I need your valuable suggestion for choosing routerboard for my project.

my present working project scenario is :--

250 pppoe users, authenticated by Radiumanager(dmasoft) . i use simple queue, internal nat , and few firewall rules given in manual. no bandwidth distribution. no mangles rules, no pcq ,no other fancy queues till now...
am using mikrotik installed on PC with 512MB ram, 80 GB HD.and 2 ethrnt cards( internal + external)..
my high bandwidth consumption is 4mb download and 500kb upload.
on average 100 users online..
bandwidth for users is 512kbps download and 64 kbps upload ..same for all 250 users,

I WANT FOLLOWING UPDATE IN MY PROJECT::---

1) i want to increase my bandwidth with another 2MB ..then i want to do bandwidth distribution using 2 ADSL line( right now i cant do it as i have only 2 ethernet cards on my PC- one for internal and another for external)...

2) i want to add persistent or service based bandwidth distrubution like browsing,P2P to one dsl and YAHOO,skype,googletalk voice chats on another DSL...

honestly i want to give better service to my clients thats why increasing bandwidth 4 MB + 2 MB = 6 MB.

most of my clients use yahoo voice chat and they complaint about voice problem, one way or bad , breaking voice....


NOW which routerboard u think is suitable for me..( FYI i dont want to buy RB1000U------budget problem).

Use the PC you have already and put a 3rd NIC in it. Then you can get your 2nd DSL and setup the necessary rules for what you want.

do as Letni said - adding 3rd NIC wont increase the costs very much, and everything else is already there.

but if you want to go RouterBOARD way - then RB433AH or RB600 would do the job for you with 3 ethernet and 3 or 4 wireless adapters possible.

if so - what are you going to do with your current routeros installation on your x86 box?
