NAT Loopback : Low bandwidth
Hi there, I have a WNDR4500 first generation as my lan router, behind the internet gateway. There is a server on the LAN and some clients (smartphones, computers) access it from both LAN and WAN...
Based from engineering, the only way to get this working is through the use of IP address.
There will be no firmware updates to correct this since the device is already EOL.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Welcome to the community, birdie377
What is the exact changed you made on the router to get full network speed?
What's the firmware version loaded on your router?
Hi, - To get full speed, the client connects to the server by using the server LAN IP address. The problem reported is when the public domain name of the server is used which requires the internet router to loopback the traffic to the server LAN IP address. - Firmware is 1.0.1.36_1.0.63. If you were considering asking to upgrade the firmware, may I ask you to please ask only if there is updates to the NAT loopback function. I would rather not update for the sake of having the latest version. Thank you.
