SRX5308 Throughput Reduced with Firewall Rules
I will narrate the issue just so that it can be documented. I hope it can be passed along as far as it needs to be fully resolved. My Gigabit Fiber WAN is very stable and does not fluctuate. SRX5...
Yes I have been working with Netgear Engineering.
My hope is that the workaround I have been able to find works for others, and more people escalate this issue to engineering at NetGear.
The router is very capable of over 900 Mbps Up and Down. WAN Links 100Mbps and under probably show no signs due to the fact that when the condition is present it is still showing up to 120Mbps Up and Down.
This problem is 100% dependant on the status of firewall rules at boot time. If there is even a single firewall rule enabled either Inbound or Outbound the problem is there and is not remedied unless rebooted with all rules enabled. After this disabled rule boot is accomplished then firewall rules can be enabled and throughput is at native speed 900+ Mbps Up and Down.
