WAN to LAN throughput FVS318G

Question

I have a FVS318G which is 5 years old. Just got hooked up with Comcast business class. Direct connection to modem yields 85mbs wired.

Via the FVS318G it is 15mbs. Can someone point me to what settings I need to make or adjust to get the advertised throughput of 250mbs? Granted it can't ouput more than the modem at 85mbs, but hopefully you get my point.

Also the LAN is quite slow when everybody is up and running on the peer to peer network. Is there anyway to improve that as well? It is a 1Gb network.

Thanks for any information that you can provide.

Hello remltr,&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I'm joining this conversation to give more information. An FVS318G from 5 years ago is a version 1, the v1 only has a maximum&nbsp;WAN-LAN throughput&nbsp;of 22.5Mbps (based on tests). The&nbsp;FVS318Gv2&nbsp;is the newer version that&nbsp;can&nbsp;accommodate up to 250Mbps. Given you have firewall rules configured on the FVS318G, it will really slow the throughput down. If you want to maximize the your internet speed, you may need to consider getting a newer version of the hardware.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I hope this helps, let us know if you have more questions.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Thanks,&nbsp;

Hi remltr,

&nbsp;

As a follow-up, you could distinguish the FVS318Gv2 from the FVS318v1 through its product order code. &nbsp;The product code for FVS318Gv2 in North America is FVS318G-200NAS. The product order code of FVS318N in North America is FVS318N-100NAS. &nbsp;Kindly check page 5 of the ProSAFE VPN Firewall Series data sheet&nbsp;here.

Hi Jenn,&nbsp;Modem: Cisco Model DPC 3941B&nbsp;Hardware version : Not sure where to find that. Nothing shows on the 192.168.1.1 webpage or on the device itself.&nbsp;Firmware: 3.1.1-18&nbsp;Thanks for responding. Hope you can help me.&nbsp;Dave&nbsp;

Hello remitr,

&nbsp;

Cisco DPC3941B is a cable gateway. This means it has router capability. What WAN IP address is the FVS318G getting from the CIsco? You can give just at least the first 2 octets.
