CRS125, hEX1 and hEX2 are setup in the same vlan, same /24 subnet, all ports switched to ether1 of the device at hand.
All uplinks 1Gb. No firewalling.
3x Raspberry Pi 3, all the same model, 100Mbit port.

When I do a speedtest-cli from Pi2 and Pi3, the speed is drastically lower than the speedtest-cli from Pi1.

iPerf from Pi3 -> Pi2:

[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec   112 MBytes  94.2 Mbits/sec

iPerf from Pi2 -> Pi1:

[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec   113 MBytes  94.3 Mbits/sec

When I do a speedtest from my laptop - connected through WIFI (on a hAP AC that is connected to hEX1) I get the full 150Mbit

Could someone help me troubleshoot this? I don't know where to look anymore.

Thanks!
Chris

Can you post an "/interface export" for each of the Mikrotik devices?

hex1 and hex2 don't need to have bridges. They are already in a switch group, the bridge just makes for more CPU load.
If you are not using the sfp on the switch, you can remove the bridge from that one too.

Have you verified that the pi's get full speed when connected directly to the switch?

BlackVS · Sun Aug 07, 2016 7:04 pm

1. What was the reason to create bridge with one interface on Hex1/Hex2 ? Except specially to make higher load of CPU of course %)
Disable both them.

2. Why to not plug Pi3 directly in Hex1 or CRS125? Try both variants and check speedtest results. If they are the same then problem not in Hex1/Hex2.

Also during speedtests from Pi2/Pi3 will check CPU load on Hex1, Hex2.

IntrusDave · Sun Aug 07, 2016 7:05 pm

i think I just said that..

ChrisVanMeer · Sun Aug 07, 2016 7:07 pm

Ok, moved the IP addresses of hEX1 and hEX2 from the bridge interface to the ether1 port and then removed the bridges.
The reason why I created those bridges? I don't know really, now to come and think of it.

Removed SFP1 from the CRS125.
No change in speedtest-cli outputs.
CPU speeds stays low.

Yes, when connected to the CRS125, all Pi's get the full speed.
I have interchanged them all in a way that every Pi was at given point in either CRS125, hEX1 or hEX2 and the results remained the same: when connected to hEX1 or hEX2, the speeds are low. I also have an Apple TV connected to hEX2, that also just get 30Mbit when doing a speedtest.

IntrusDave · Sun Aug 07, 2016 7:24 pm

Very odd. the only thing I can think of would be a defective cable or maybe power supply.
have you tried swapping hex1 and hex2? Different cables and ports?

ChrisVanMeer · Sun Aug 07, 2016 7:37 pm

Yes swapped hEX1 with 2. Swapped the power supply.

Didn't swap the cable, it runs through the walls...but my theory is that the cable is good, since my laptop gets high speeds through wifi that is connected to hEX1

IntrusDave · Sun Aug 07, 2016 7:46 pm

Ahhh, missed that detail.

So - if the laptop is fine, then the hex and switch are fine. that leaves the Pi's.
try manually setting the speed and duplex to 100M/Full on the HEX and the Pi.
Also, check the stats on the ports and see if they are getting errors.

ChrisVanMeer · Sun Aug 07, 2016 8:08 pm

I can't get why a pi connected to the crs125 is doing fine and when I connect that same pi to hEX1, speed drops. Both ports came up as 100mb no errors.

And the iperf from pi2 and pi3 to pi1 get the full bandwith.

ChrisVanMeer · Mon Aug 08, 2016 8:10 am

Hmm, when I do a quick compare between my MikroTiks, it appears that both hEX's have an input voltage of 11.5V.
The rest of them has 24V.

Does the input voltage has anything to do with the throughput speed?

Zorro · Mon Aug 08, 2016 11:56 am

if you read SoC datasheed(used in Pi)you will be surprised how its achieve even That speed, because its Extrmely weak, not only compared to used in RB SoC, but at all.
my point is: numbers are good. nothing "wrong" happen. its how ~it should be.

ChrisVanMeer · Mon Aug 08, 2016 12:03 pm

The hEX2 also has an Apple TV (gen4) attached to it, it gets the same speed.
But connected directly to the switch, it gets up to 100 Mbit.
Same goes for the Pi, so the hardware can handle it.

Something on the hEX is slowing it down.

Another thought: iPerf's from Pi2 and Pi3 to Pi1 shows 94Mbit, but that is on the same subnet, so no routing involved.
Speedtest goes to the internet, so routing is involved...could that be something?

IntrusDave · Mon Aug 08, 2016 4:55 pm

you may have some rules in the router that are slowing it down. have you tried disabling all of the queue, filter, and mangle rules?

ChrisVanMeer · Mon Aug 08, 2016 8:01 pm

Yep, tried that as well.
And if it was the solution, then it wouldn't explain why the wired devices on / behind hEX1 have lower speed than wireless devices behind hEX1.

IntrusDave · Tue Aug 09, 2016 4:56 pm

The only thing left is a compatibility issue with the Pi and the Hex
