FVS318N WAN to LAN throughput and performance
Hi, Recently upgraded my DSL connection 8M/1M to Cable 130M/30M. I changed from using PPoE to direct connection and modified the MTU size back to the default 1500 as per the provider recommendati...
Well 2 days and half a million packets later, it's still running at top speed. Looks like this firmware definitely solves any speed issues. I'll be deploying it on our other FVS318Ns. :)
I'm really glad this worked as I was about to replace a 318N in a location where the bandwidth increased to 150/25.
No luck here,
Netgear support are still providing support on this case, but it seems that even more items are being disabled. I had rebuilt my configu from scratch after the recent firmware upgrade. I find it quite troublesome to rebuilt a complex configuration entirely from scratch with every firmware upgrade. Neatgear should really have a solution for this.
I'm considering moving over to Ubiquiti...
Every smb router has to have its config rebuilt, not just Netgear. And the edgerouters are even worse with the entire config command line xml if it's complicated. And you'll have to set it up every time there's a firmware update as well.
Programming is just not quality controlled enough to migrate from one firmware to another without configuration rebuilds/glitches unless you're paying thousands of dollars a year for support (ie high end enterprise gear).
Hio SamirD. it seemed taht bandwidt control driver on my ethernet card was disrupting my recent tests. Rebooted the FVS318N at noon today and so far still 190 Mbps / 30 Mbps. fingers crossed...
Awesome! If you see any more problems, be sure to try a different system if you can. It's helped me diagnose bandwidth issues before. But I hope you have just smooth sailing from here!
