NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G lowers my internet download speed
Hello there,
I'm an amateur in this case so I need some help from you guys.
Its about my internet download speed. Speedtest says 16 Mbit...but I pay for 120 Mbit. Once I connect the DSL modem straight with my pc everything is working fine (arround 100 Mbit). The moment I put my NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G between them my dowload speed decreases to 16 Mbit. Upload and ping are okay....only the downloadspeed sucks!
I dont know what to do with the ProSafe to get the same speed as I put the modem right into the pc.
Can somebody pls. help my with this?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Sato
Hi Sato1902,
Welcome to the community! :)
The model of the FVS318G that you have seems to be a version 1 (FVS318Gv1). The FVS318Gv1 has a LAN-to-WAN Throughput of 25Mbps. Kindly check the FVS318Gv1 data sheet here for reference. Since you are paying for a 120Mbps of internet connection, you need to use a VPN firewall that has a LAN-to-WAN Throughput greater than 120Mbps.
I suggest you either of the following NETGEAR VPN Firewalls: FVS318Gv2, FVS318N, FVS336Gv3 or SRX5308. All of these firewalls have a LAN-to-WAN Throughput greater than 120Mbps. Kindly access the data sheet below for more information as well as know their comparison:
