M4300 - Vlan Routing & DHCP Performance Issues

This vlan issue has had me troubleshooting for a while until i narrowed it down to the netgear switch M4300 on latest firmware.

 

I have the netgear switch configured as the main DHCP server for multiple vlans. I have have Ubiquiti AP broadcasting 2 different SSIDs on different vlans (vlan 1 and vlan 20). The gateway is Ubiquiti UDM Pro which has DHCP feature disabled connected to 1Gbps ISP line.

 

  1. Testing on 2 SSIDs with Iphone 11 with WiFiman
    • SSID1 (Vlan1) shows download speed of 500Mbps on the iphone
    • SSID2 (Vlan20) shows download speed of 2Mbps on same iphone
  2. Now I created new SSID3 (Vlan5), this time DHCP server on the Gateway. Configured DHCP relay on Netgear switch & No Vlan routing 
    • SSID3 (Vlan5) shows download speed of 500Mbps
  3. Switched to wired testing.
    • Computer on Vlan1 - download speed 500Mbps
    • Computer on Vlan30 - download speed 2Mbps
  4. Final testing - reconfigured Vlan20 with DHCP on Gateway instead of Netgear. Delete Vlan routing for Vlan20 on netgear. 
    • SSID2 (Vlan20) on Iphone jumped to 500Mbps
    • Computer on Vlan20 - download speed jumped to nearly 450Mbps

Conclusion is Netgear M4300 has some serious issues with Vlan Routing and/or DHCP Server for said Vlan.

If anyone has similar setup, I would be interested to hear back.  I did some troubleshooting with an agent who saw the issues and took a copy of my switch config file for further investigation.
