Replaced NETGEAR FVS336G with NETGEAR SRX5308
We have replaced our NETGEAR FVS336G with NETGEAR SRX5308 at two sites.
Because we have upgraded from 10MB dedicated broadband to 100Mb+ broadband.
THE NETGEAR FVS336G worked perfectly, they are just limited to 60MB on their WAN Ports, hence upgrading to the NETGEAR SRX5308 which are capable of 940MB on the WAN Ports.
I have rein put all the exact same settings for WAN and LAN and Services & Firewall, and it all works with the 100Mb+ broadband and speediest.net reports it as good too.
But I have issues now with both the NETGEAR SRX5308.
Previously with the NETGEAR FVS336G LAN I could use Fixed IP addresses for the Desktops and only had to use the DNS of Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)
Now with the NETGEAR SRX5308 I can only get the LAN Desktops PC's and Mac's to work if they are set to DHCP and have the Routers IP of 192.168.1.1 manually entered into their DNS after the DNS of Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4)
The broadband reports fast with speedtest.net, but functions about about 1/4 of that speed for the Desktops (and Servers) :-(
Why would these two NETGEAR modles function differently, given they both provide the same web interface and settings / setup?
It's not the broadband, as no IP's or settings or DNS have changed there, it's just increased in broadband access speed by out inhouse ISP's.
I can put the older NETGEAR FVS336G 's back on and it's perfect again, albeit limited to about 38MBps as mentioned about by the Netgear devices limitations.
Thank you.

- Basically you can not use any static IP on two computers huh..
- The answer was to use the SRX5308 Router address as the DNS for the LAN clients.
192.168.1.1
Googles DNS no longer worked with the SRX5308, whereas it did with the FVS336G
8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 - Any DNS should work.
- unfortunately, tests at 3 sites using SRX5308 with 3 different broadband suppliers disagrees :-(
- Disable DNS Proxy.

What speeds did you actually get with the FVS336G when you upgraded to the 100Mbps broadband service?
