Router Not Performing as advertised
I have a couple FVS114s and FVS214G. I have had complaints that they do not perform as advetised. The Wan connection is supposed to be 100Mbps, none of the WAN ports will communicate over 15Mbps. ...
Hi Olddog-58,
Welcome to the community! :)
Both the FVS114 and FVS124G has a LAN-to-WAN throughput of 11.5Mbps only. Since you are subscribed with 100Mbps of WAN connection, I recommend you to use a VPN firewall router that has a LAN-to-WAN throughput that is greater than 100Mbps in order to solve the problem.
Since both FVS114 and FVS124G are already EOL (End-of-Life), I suggest you to replace it with new NETGEAR VPN Firewall routers (either FVS318Gv2, FVS318N, FVS336Gv3 or SRX5308) that is available in the market today wherein their LAN-to-WAN throughput is greater than 100Mbps. Kindly access the data sheet below and know their comparison:

The Data sheet on the old routers say they run at 100Mbps Full Duplex but they don't. How can we be sure this is not the issue with new routers. NetGear should offer a free return on the equipment ( Netgear will pay to have a shipping service pick up the router and refund all cost associated with the router). E-O-L has no bearing on this issue. It has been a problem with the routers from purchase but was all ways blamed on some thing else. I replaced the router for the customer with an other router. We, your resellers have to stand behind your products but you don't
Hi Olddog-58,
The 10/100BASE-T is the capability of the ethernet port (WAN port) itself and this is different to LAN-to-WAN throughput. Since both the FVS114 and FVS124G has a LAN-to-WAN throughput of 11.5Mbps, it cannot go any faster than 11.5Mbps data transfer to and from the internet.
