Why does the fvs318 firewall only pass 5gbps signal from a 30gbps signal line?
OK, I have setup a connection through a local cable ISP @30gbps and bypassing the built in wireless function in an Arris 860 modem. Unfortunately the ISP is in control of the Arris settings with that ...

Hello danny_lang1,
Welcome to the community!
The FVS318 can only handle up to 11.5 Mbps WAN-LAN throughput, since your FVS318 can only give you about 5Mbps I suggest updating the firmware to the latest version (for FVS318v3). Check the internet speed from the router after the firmware update, you should get atleast close to 11 Mbps. If you need to maximize you internet connection speed, you may ned to update to a higher tier router like the FVS318N or FVS336Gv3,
I hope this information helps, if you have more questions please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
