XR700 Speedtest between Lan and Wan ports

Hi,

Has anyone done some speedtest between Lan and Wan?

I've been testing the speed between lan ports and wan ports and the most I get is 537 Mbits/sec.

I was expecting atleast 900 Mbits/sec between wan (atleast through the 10Gb port) and lan.

Where is the 4600 Mbits/sec advertised on the box coming from?

 

Please let me know!

      Using a gigabit switch,2 wired pcs, XR700 and IPERF3.

      That said that are many otherways to test speed between router and switch ports.

      How are you testing it?

        We actually primarily use iPerf 2 as have found issues using iPerf 3. If you test using iPerf 2 do you get the same results as 3? Are you using multiple streams to test?

      See attached image.. did same test on other brand similar gigabit routers and they are over 900 Mbps.

      I tried the test with all different settings in Netduma turning features off or on with no luck. What should the throughput speed be and how do you test it?

       

      Let me know.

    I could never get anything near 900Mbps on the XR700 when I had it...
