FVS318G Killing Cable Speed

[Chrisla]

Hi -

I'm running an FSV318G in a home network.  Speeds directly out of the cable modem are 170mbps down, 12mbps up.  After FSV318G 18MBPS down, 10 up.

What can I do?

Thanks.

Hi Chrisla,

It seems that you currently have an FVS318Gv1 which has a lower LAN-to-WAN throughput.  I suggest that you need to have a firewall router wherein its LAN-to-WAN throughput is higher than 170Mbps.  

You may want to check the FVS318Gv2, FVS318N or FVS336Gv3 which has a LAN-to-WAN throughput higher than 170Mbps.  Kindly check their specifications here. 

Welcome to the community!

Hi Dane -

Thanks for all of the great info and the welcome to the group.

I opted to go with the FVS318N and that seems to have solved all of the issues.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Chrisla,

You are welcome! 

I am glad that its all working after you have decided to go with the FVS318N.

We have never seen higher than 60Mbps on our fvs318n.  What version of hardware/firmware is yours?
