NETGEAR ProSafe™ Gigabit 8 Port VPN Firewall FVS318G lowers my internet download speed

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:
