FVS318G really slow internet speed

    Hi JB_Morgy,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    I believe that the FVS318G you have is a version 1.   The LAN-to-WAN Throughput of the FVS318Gv1 is 25Mbps which is lower than 50Mbps that you have subscribed from your ISP.  What you need is a VPN firewall router that has a higher LAN-to-WAN Throughput than 50Mbps like the FVS318Gv2.  Also, make sure that the modem is set to full-bridge mode so that the WAN IP Address will be registered to the VPN firewall router. 

     

    Other than the FVS318Gv2, you may also check the FVS318N, FVS336Gv3 and SRX5308 on the data sheet here.
