FVS318v3 slow speeds as Router fast as Hub what settings can I change (internally on netgear)
My FVS 318 v3 is only 7 & 8 Mbps as a Router but it speeds up to (94 & 67 Mbps when modem cable is moved from WAN to a LAN port. what inside the Netgear is slowing down speed. No Port Fwrd, no Rules, no VPN, just basic AUTO setup.

I'm also thinking that the Spec. showed 11 Mbps per port limitation.

This is consistent with the LAN->WAN and WAN-LAN speeds I've seen in various reviews.
IMO past time to replace it. The last firmware update is dated 2012, so you have something 13+ years old.
The speeds you’re getting match the real hardware limits of the FVS318v3, and reviews report the same WAN performance. With no updates since 2012, there’s nothing you can adjust internally to fix it, so replacing it is the only option.
