NetGear FVS 318N WAN throughput limited
I have read the other posts and also performed the recommended actions, but I am also experiencing limited throughput on my firewall. I recently upgraded my TWC to Spectrum Internet. The service connection went from 30Gb/s to 100Gb/sec. I also have a Netgear N450 Gateway & I connected my system directly to it (at 1Gb/sec) to test the connection speed via speedtest.net. I was able to get 95+Gb/sec download and 12+Gb/sec upload speeds. My 318N firewall is also WAN connected to the N450 Gateway at 1Gb/sec bandwidth. When I connect my system to the 318N firewall at 1Gb/sec and run speedtest.net, I am only able to achieve 42Gb/sec - 45Gb/sec download and 10Gb/sec - 11Gb/sec upload speeds. I have the latest software version loaded (v4.3.4-2). I have reset both devices and my system. I have turned the wireless on and off on the 318N, and performed the recommended tests without any increase in speed from my firewall. I am not using any encryption or VPN settings. I am definitely able to get the 100Mb/sec speed from my ISP throught the N450 Gateway. But the FVS318N is limiting the available performance.
