The Bandwidth test tool can be helpful to test speed between Mikrotik routers. But you can disable it if you don’t need it.

From Winbox

From Winbox click on Tools > BTest Server > Disable > OK

From Command Line

From the command line you can disable the bandwidth server by running the following command.

/tool/bandwidth-server/set enabled=no

If you are still on RouterOS 6.x use

/tool bandwidth-server set enabled=no

Enable Bandwidth test

If you need to enable the bandwidth server again, just change enabled=no to enabled=yes

/tool bandwidth-server set enabled=yes
