Much slower LAN speed than direct from the house network
I am now connected to gigabit service, with the google fiber router feeding service into the house Cat5e wiring. I noticed my computer speed tested at 940 or so up and down direct into the wall, but...
Everything is working fine now, I got rid of my Google Fiber Network box, and replaced it with a Netgear Pro Smart Switch which can do the vlan2 tagging. Anyway, the router is working fine, passing 900+ through the wired ports.
Make sure the following are all off. If any are on, reboot after turning them off.
- QoS
- Traffic metering
- MAC address cloning
- MAC address access control
- Keyword blocking
- Service blocking
- AP mode
Alternatively, perform a factory reset and do a minimal config (i.e. Wi-Fi and LAN settings). Don't turn on any fancy features.
Hmm, I tried that and no luck, still only reading in the 300-400 MPS. I then changed the router to be an access point, still no luck. Any other ideas?
I forgot to mention that PPPoE will also drag down performance.
Have you enabled any other features on the router? ReadyShare?
No, I have done a full reset several times, regular factory settings as both a router (double NAT) as well as an Access Point, and it is still losing 400 mps compared to the straight feed. I would consider upgrading to a better router to avoid this, would an X6 still have this problem?
