I have Mikrotik router which is configured with basic guides. I reset router when I got it from a friend and configured from scratch. Problem is speed is maximum 500Mbit/500Mbit instead of 1Gbit/1Gbit.

I did some tests. Here are results with following configurations:

ISP <-> ISP Router (bridge port) <-> Laptop 850/900Mbit
ISP <-> ISP Router (bridge port) <-> Mikrotik <-> Laptop Around 500/500Mbit
ISP <-> ISP Router (bridge port) <-> Mikrotik <-> switch <-> Laptop Around 500/500Mbit

I also tried downloading From 2 computers at same time. Max WAN transfer is around 500/500Mbit

My router model is RB750Gr3 with RouterOS v6.43.7

When testing speed between 2 computers connected to same group of bridged interfaces speeds are close to 900/900Mbit between two computers. So basically bottleneck is between Mikrotik WAN port.

While testing speedtest there is around 30% CPU usage.

My main goal is to know what is a bottleneck of this router.

Accordnig to charts it should be capable of 1Gbit+ speeds with 1500 MTU https://mikrotik.com/product/RB750Gr3#fndtn-testresults

My NAT table is as follows:

0    chain=srcnat action=masquerade out-interface=internet1 out-interface-list=WAN log=no log-prefix="" 
1    chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.5.5 protocol=tcp dst-address=111.111.111.111 in-interface=internet1 dst-port=80 log=no log-prefix="" 
2    chain=dstnat action=dst-nat to-addresses=192.168.5.5 protocol=tcp dst-address=111.111.111.111 dst-port=443

It's a small five port gigabit ethernet router with more functionality than we think it should have, and will work for speeds up to 350 Mbps.

Looking down the table, you are getting about the maximum throughput for this router that you can get.

You would need a faster router to get better speed.
