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 betwe...
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?
THX
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?
using IPERF3 running multiple threads I do get 998 Mbps.
> iperf3 -c [host] -P 2
Thank you
- Glad to hear it, just a case of settings then!
This was an setting issue when testing to see the sum speed using 2 streams atleast.
But when I am downloading there is normally only 1 stream so the way this router is setup it cuts my gig speed in half.
I tried downloading one file and download speed is 490 Mbps or less.
So testing a 2.3 GB file takes 60 seconds or more.
If I repeat the test using 2 computers downloading each an 2.3GB file at the same time I would expect to see my other 490Mbps but that is not what happens instead the time it takes for those 2 files takes twice the time so 2 minutes.
So really the 1 Gbps speed is not available.
Since this is purely within the router I hope this get fixed in the next update.
FYI I also tested the same scenario through a gig switch and the sum speed downloading and testing was consistent at 980 Mbps.
