XR700 sfp+ slow download speed

Hi All,

 

I use the xr700 for 1 week now with no issues, today i received my sfp+ module for the 10Gb.

 

I powerd down the router and installed the sfp+ in the router and connected the cat7 cable from port 1 in to the sfp+.

After that i did a speed test, and i wasn't getting more than 410mbps than the normal 990 i had before on port 1 with the same cable and pc.

 

has someone also this issue?

 

Firmware is the latest, pc is still 1000mbps ethernet card for now but should be a problem with the 10Gb sfp+.

 

Greetings,

    I'm sorry I didn't quite understand from your message what speed you're getting from the SFP+ port and what speed you're expecting?

      Hi,

      I'm getting 410mbps on the sfp+, when I plug the same cable in Port 1 of the router I'm getting 990mbps like normal.

      Desktop is 1000mbps card but that should be a problem as it is backwards compatible right?
