XR700 is not supporting 900Mb+- on the WAN to LAN test

So using the following simple test method and test program, I'm not seeing anything near 900mbps on the WAN to LAN test.      Seems like the HW NAT accelleration or Cut-Through that should be work...

Sorry I forgot to add the link to this simple test program. Gives all details on how to run it:

https://www.duckware.com/tech/router-wan-to-lan-throughput-test.html

 

This is only to test WAN to LAN with no specialized configurations. Just a factory reset on the router with minimal setup using default settings only. I disabled WiFi since there is a easy access button for this.

As you are able to do that test would you be able to repeat it using iPerf? That is what we (Netduma) use to test in the office.

    I would presume results would be the same. I've tested with this more simplified program with other routers to compare. 

    Does NetDuma see same or similar speed results in there testing with the XR700?

    Speed seems all over place. Still nothing much over 300Mbps

      Looks like you were only using 1 thread for that is that correct? You'll get slower speeds that way, try with 4 and you should see higher speeds.
