Netgear Prosafe Router Model SRXN3205 - Slows down Internet Speeds

    Hi Dion07, 

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    The SRXN3205 has a LAN-to-WAN throughput of 60Mbps which is lower than your subscribed 200 Mbps download speed from Comcast that is why it slows down.  You may check the SRXN3205 data sheet here.  

     

    If you want to achieve your goal to have VPN connection and at the same time having a 200 Mbps download speed, I suggest you a VPN firewall that has a LAN-to-WAN throughput greater than 200 Mbps like the following: FVS318Gv2, FVS318N, FVS336Gv3 or the SRX5308.  Kindly check their specification and comparison on the data sheet here.  

     

     

    Regards,
