Cat 7, IPV6 disabled on BGW and 970. Rebooted both devices for this retest, BGW then 970. Testing using BGW internal Speedtest and 970 internal Speedtest. Not using PC since the NIC  is max 5G - Intel chip.  Passthrough follow. Will test AP and will post over weekend. 

 

Passthrough Results

Gbps    - DOWN    UP       PING

BGW        5385      5323      1.2

970.          4763      5201.     1.2
