Just to check, has anyone install starhub 10gbps wait for 10 mins only, then the line go down for 1 week without starhub not able to find any resolution ? I have been without internet for 1 week since the installer come down to install 10gbps. No IP address obtained for the Nokia onr.
:eek: Go complain to IMDA. Hearsay starhub will fast settle after IMDA screw them.

I used to like Edgerouter Lite due to its EdgeOS being licensed from Vyatta. Now for my StarHub 10G in bridge mode, I'm using VyOS 1.4 rolling with the Dell Edge 640 I bought recently. The 640 has 2 x 10G SFP+ ports with 6 x 1G copper ports.

I also run 2 units of the 640 as proxmox hosts, very efficient with C3758 8-core and 32GB RAM. I may put the remaining 2 units up at Carousell soon.

Nice one.

Interestingly that you are running VyOS rolling. Is it troublesome?

For Linux I use Ubuntu/Debian in general and not Arch Linux (rolling release) as I do not want to deal with occassional breakage. Not so sure about VyOS.

How much did you get the edge 640 for? Those seems rather pricey though for the form factor it's great.

I used the v1.4 branch (sagitta), so it's closer to v1.4 RC3 right now. But I did have to custom build the ISO with latest ixgbe 5.19.9 out-of-tree driver due to the kernel-6.6 ixgbe driver having an issue that prevents link up at the moment. But performance is great, otherwise!

current VQ plan with fixed ip expiring soon.
been with them since the very start and it has been relatively problem free for me as I run my own dns forwarder and only depend on it for pure ip connectivity.

very tempted with MR 10G with static ip addon due to price and also home infra is due for major overhaul as some existing equipment are EOL and no longer has support(firmware) and are more than 10 years or approaching 10 years cycle.

In the last 10 years, i have transited through most of the popular routing vendors except mikrotik
Edgerouter Lite --> Netgate (pfsense) --> Sophos UTM --> Edgerouter 4

Considerations for new setup (either all-in-one router/switch or router + switch)
1) prefer fanless if possible
2) No software based router
3) prefer router to be just router and connect a switch for switching/Vlans (aio also ok if it offers additional benefits)

Based on the above, I am leaning on mikrotik
CCR2004-16G-2S+PC and CRS310-8G+2S+IN

1) CCR only the 2S+ will be used (one to ONT, one to switch) 16G wasted
2) CRS only two S+ ports. One will be used to uplink to CCR so only one free. Prefer more S+ ports.
3) CCR is fanless but CRS has fans so LPPL

Also for the CRS switch:
https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/disp...wareOffloading-OffloadingFasttrackConnections
Under L3HW Device support section.
"The devices below are based on Marvell 98DX224S, 98DX226S, or 98DX3236 switch chip models. These devices do not support Fasttrack or NAT connection offloading."

Isn't Fasttrack and NAT connection offloading done on the CCR router?
So am I missing out on any HW offload features/optimisation by choosing the above combo.

I have also considered:
1) CCR2216-1G-12XS-2XQ - AIO but overkill for my setup
2) Edgerouter XG - concerned about long term support since cavium has been sold to marvel and UBNT has very limited updates/commitment to the Edgerouter product line.

Looking to mikrotik users and gurus for advise.
You can also consider the CCR2116, which includes a switch chip as well, all interfaces are connected to the switch chip. There is some limited L3HW offload functionality as well, though limited to something like 2K connections.

Using this for my MR 10G and it works pretty well.

Well, the BE805 is having only 2x 10GBPS (So 1 for WAN and 1 for another device, and the rest is 4x 1GBPS)
The AXE300 is having same 2x 10GBPS but 1x2.5GBPS and 4x 1GBPS

I was thinking to get the GAMER and leverage the 2.5GBPS for another machine. Looks like I may change plan, especially I don't have any WIFI7 yet ;)

Anyone on 10Gb/s, do you guys have to change this to 10Gbps Full Duplex? Or leave it to Auto Negotiate?
For some reason I can't get any IP when i change to 10Gbps Full Duplex.

Leaving on Auto Negotiate, for some reason, my speed sometimes is capped at 5000Mbps. Last night I could reach 8000 at 10G link speed. Really random.
