FVS336Gv3 WAN-LAN Throughput
Hello, I'm Netgear Powershift Partner and got a serious problem with the low WAN-LAN throughput of the FVS336Gv3. I expected up to 350Mbit/s as promised in the datasheet. My Internet Connection is F...
Update:
I now contacted Support directly. Recommendation was to connect another router between fiber modem and FVS336Gv3 and create double NAT to test if speed increases. Test was good, we reached 150MBit. But that can't be an acceptable solution for us and our customers. Let's see what happens next...
...as expected, support told me there will not be any new Firmware Update because FVS336Gv3 is END OF LIFE as all other Netgear Prosafe(VPN) and Prosecure(UTM) Firewalls.
Hi 24mediaAdmin,
I appreciate that you shared here in the community how did your support ticket with NETGEAR Support goes. Your concern seems to be similar on the forum thread here wherein it was mentioned that the problem is also present on other brand (such as Cisco) and the workaround recommended is to connect another router (or switch) in between the modem and the ProSAFE firewall which is the same workaround recommended to you.

Hi DaneA,
thanks for your help. I asked support if they can tell me where the problem is. They told me that they assume the problem in the PPPoE connection. The ISP requires PPPoE Fastpath but the Firewall can't handle it. As far as I know the same is true for all Netgear Prosafe Firewalls. Sadly...
It's unbelievable that those cheep Netgear consumer router dosn't seem to have any problem with it.
It's the same problem as discussed here: VPN-Firewalls/FVS318Gv2-Poor-WAN-to-LAN-throughput
