FVS318Gv2 Slow Internet Speed
Just noticed i am not getting close to 150Mbps download speed on my comcast plan. I have a Netgear CM1000 Modem, linked to FVS318Gv2, which goes into a NightHawk 7000 wireless router. Download spee...
Ricky, Is this a DSL PPPoE connection (where the FVS318Gv2 does have some limitations as per the referenced forum thread) or CableTV Internet (and no PPPoE)?
It is cable internet. Under the Network Configuration/Wan Settings/ISP Type I have selected PPTP.
So I guess no PPPoE?

...but similar problem, no hardware accelerated protocol optimizations in place for these PPPoE or PPTP on these devices.
So does that mean with the FVS318Gv2 I won't be able to achieve 200mbps?
Yep, if this is the issue then it won't be able to hit 200Mbps.
It's been a few years since I looked at the 318G specs, but I think some versions were just limited to just 60Mbps if I recall.
A logical and easy upgrade path would be the FVS318N and just shut off the wireless. I have seen 350Mbps down on ours and I don't think that's the limit.
