FVS336Gv2 Bandwidth limitations...?

So...this one was unexpected.

 

Got an FVS336Gv2, been running just fine on a 1.5M connection.  Moved it over to business class, cable at 100M down, 10M up.  Speedtest run behind the firewall show anywhere from 25M-35M down across cables connections.  Plug straight into the router (using the firewall’s cable) and speed tests come back with 100M.

 

Are there any limitations on the firewall itself that would throttle the speeds?

  • Hi Noctaire,

     

    As per the FVS336Gv2 data sheet here, it has a LAN-to-WAN throughput of 60Mbps.  To take advantage of the upgraded connection which is about 100Mbps you have subscribed, you will need a firewall router that has a LAN-to-WAN throughput that is greater than 100Mbps.

      Thanks.  That still leaves 30M unaccounted for but definitely helps me narrow the troubleshooting.
