MS510TX low speed
I have Enterasys 1Gb switch. All cables are cat6+, tested. My computer Asus x570 pro has 1Gb ethernet port. My cable modem has 2.5 Gb port and 2G plan (Tested with wired PC and wireless phones - download speed total ~ 2000Mbit/s) On PC side the download speed is 990 Mbit/s.
Bought MS510 TX to connect 2.5 G modem port to 2.5G or 5G or 10G of it. Use 4 1G ports as LACP to IG Enterasys switch. First, did factory reset, then setuo LACP group. Everything works. Except download speed on PC side only 570 Mbit/s. Connect ethernet cable from modem back to Enterasys - speed 999 Mbit/s/ Disconnected MS510TX from Enterasys, did factory reset on MS510TX, connect modem and PC only to MS510TX (Different ports combinations - same result download speed 570 Mbit/s)
What is this? Defective hardware? or defective design?
PS It's not just internet - if I connect a second PC speed is not 1G also.

I just put my new MS510TX in place of an unmanaged TP-Link 2.5Gb switch, and the 510TX performance is terrible. 300-500Mbits/sec measured with iperf3 vs 1.9 Gbits/sec on the TP-Link. Only two devices on the switch - two Windows systems with 2.5Gb interfaces. Tried reset, firmware update, different port combos - no improvement. Pulled the 510 out of service. No way I can deploy this. Would love some advice here. When I get time I'll try some older firmware but this in not encouraging.
Do as I did: return it. Let them first learn how to make switches and only then buy Netgear switch.
