VS318v3 slow uplink / WAN speed when used as DHCP server

I have a FVS318V3 with most current firmware, and it only rus at 10Mb uplink speed, when data sheet tells me the uplink can run at 100Mb

I have it configured as DHCP server, for home office network with all 8 ports being used for wired connection to 7 devices and 1 wirless access port. I have 20Mb network speed ( I can connect my DSL modem directly to my PC and get 20Mb) but when I run it through the FVS318 I only get 10Mb uplink speed? connected to DM200 DSL modem

 

  •  Hi jetro57070,

     

    Welcome to our community!

     

    As per double checking, your device is FVS318v3 which is actually pretty old and it can only handle upto 11.5mbps WAN-to-LAN throughput. So I think, it is working as designed. You may need to purchase a new router that can handle your bandwidth speed.

     

    Please check the datasheet here.
