FVS336Gv3 - IPv6 throughput slower than IPv4
So the datasheet lists the FVS336Gv3 as having a "LAN-to-WAN Throughput" of 350mbps, with an asterisk of "Actual performance may vary depending on network traffic and environment". I am discoveri...
I know this topic is old, but I finally got a response from Netgear on my support case about this & figured I would post here. This is a confirmed hardware limitation of the device; it does not have hardware offload for IPv6 traffic. As such, there is no solution at this time. Only solution would be a new hardware design. (Kind of disappointing for a ~$225 "business" device.) As always, thanks to JohnRo and the mods for their time.

Hello train_wreck,
I did a little search on our repository but I was not able to see further information about the IPv6 speed for the firewall. I am also thinking that it could be a hardware limitation or just a firmware issue. Please open a ticket with our Support Team, we can create a bug/issue ticket and forward it to engineering to confirm if this is a limitation or not.
I look forward to your response.
Thanks,

Hi train_wreck,
I appreciate that you have posted an update about this topic. It is now clear that the FVS336Gv3 does not have hardware offload for IPv6 traffic and this is a confirmed hardware limitation of the device.
