XR700 Slow SFP+ Download Speed
I've just purchased a Nighthawk XR700 and after some testing I believe there is some kind of issue on Hardware / Firmware preventing the SFP+ to achieve the 10G advertised speeds. It's replacing a AS...
This is strange because usually the SFP+ port is much faster than the WAN port. It sounds likely that this is a hardware issue which might require a replacement.
Just to confirm: are you on the most recent firmware?
Yes, The firmware is updated to the latest version available: V1.0.1.10
On the v1.01.10, I have the an issue with the WAN Port-to-LAN not reaching the 1Gbps. On the SFP+ Port-to-LAN with a AGM734-10000s, I can get above 940Mbps.
So could it be a firmware issue from the SFP+ to WAN? Because it otherwise doesn't make sense that I can get full speeds on LAN but not on SFP+. Even LAN to WAN is not as optimized as it is on Asus unfortunately.
I would probably try another.
I'm not seeing anything near 900Mbps on my XR700 on the WAN port:
I don't have an SFP+ device.
