MikroTik CCR2004: Why my “10G” wasn’t actually 10G (and the quick fix)

Published 02/03/2026

Description

I’ve been running MikroTik routers/switches for over a decade, and today’s lesson is a painful one: my network “looked” like it should do full 10G end-to-end… but the CCR2004 didn’t behave the way I expected. In this video I walk through: My setup (CCR2004 as main router/firewall, office gear, server + NAS testing) The symptoms during 10G performance tests (what was fast, what wasn’t) The “why” using the block diagram / architecture explanation A practical quick fix you can apply immediately (plus what I’ll change long-term) If you found it helpful, consider liking, subscribing, and sharing with anyone building a homelab or small LAN. #MikroTik #RouterOS #CCR2004 #CCR2004_1G_12S_2XS #10GNetworking #SFPPlus #SFP28 #HomeLab #SelfHosted #TrueNAS #DellR730 #NetworkTroubleshooting #VLAN #Firewall #Switching #samayas #stef Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more content.
