Netgear Prosafe FVS-336G (fvs336g-200eus) - Slow througput
Hi
Have a fvs336g-200eus, and LAN to WAN thoughout is about 25-30mbit. Datasheet says 350mbit? What do i do wrong? Upgraded to newest firmware, with not result. Reset to default, with no result. If i test directly to the internet, i get 90-100mbit, as my ISP promised me.
Thanks/regards
Hi centex-rj,
I have read again your initial post and since you mentioned that you have a FVS336G-200EUS, what you have is an FVS336Gv2 not an FVS336Gv3. The LAN-to-WAN Throughput of the FVS336Gv2 is 60 Mbps while the LAN-to-WAN Throughput of the FVS336Gv3 is 350 Mbps. Kindly check these links below as reference:

C: Yes, WAN2 is same slow speed.
D: 4.3.3-5
Block TCP flood, is disabled - no increese. Also bandwith profile og content filtering are disabled as well.
Alsp tryed change it to "Classic routing" istead of "NAT" that gave about 1-2mbit, but
Based from you answers above, you have a scenario called "Double NAT" and this is why you are getting 25-30Mbps of LAN-to-WAN throughput through the FVS336Gv2. Kindly try to make the FVS336Gv2 your main firewall router not the Cisco ASA5505 then observe if you will get at least 60Mbps of LAN-to-WAN throughput through the FVS336Gv2.

Hi centex-rj,
A few questions below:
a. Who is your ISP? Is it a cable or a DSL connection?
b. Is the FVS336G-200EUS connected a modem-router given by your ISP?
c. Does same problem occur if you will use the other WAN port of the FVS336G-200EUS?
d. What is the current firmware version of the FVS336G-200EUS? I know you mentioned that its the newest, I just want to know the exact firmware version of it.
I look forward to your response. Welcome to the community! :smileyhappy:

a) TELEFONICA MOVISTAR - OPTICAL FIBER - 20MB/20MB
b) YES, BECAUSE IT HAS NOT A TRANSCEPTOR TO CONVERT THE OPTICAL WIRE TO RJ45. SO ISP PROVIDES A DEVICE THEY NAMED A 'DIVA'
c) YES
d) I HAVE TESTED ALL VERSIONS YET, SINCE 3.1.1-08
Finaly we bought 2 TZ500 Sonicwall. It goes fine.
Still have the case opened with netgear support to try to recover the deveces.
Thanks

What type of problem did you have with bandwidth? Your bandwidth is only 20Mb and the unit can definitely handle that.

One thing I'd immediately try is disable the block udp/tcp flood. I've noticed that improves performance on almost all the fvs series we own.
- GuillermoPiquerAspirantWe have same problem. We only have one IP public.
We can't get out ISP device because Netgear doesn't have a fiber input.- DaneANETGEAR Employee Retired
Hi GuillermoPiquer,
I think you could possibly use an adapter-like device so that you could use your fiber connection with the FVS336Gv2 :smileyhappy:

- versuchstierAspirantDoes "LAN-to-WAN: 60 Mbps total" mean in both directions (WAN -to -LAN)? Up and Downstream? Or just upstream LAN-to-WAN. Or is the general communication between LAN/WAN 60 Mbps total?
