NAT Loopback : Low bandwidth
Hi there, I have a WNDR4500 first generation as my lan router, behind the internet gateway. There is a server on the LAN and some clients (smartphones, computers) access it from both LAN and WAN using the internet domain name. I recently found out that the bandwidth is very low while client devices are on the LAN. When I change the server details on the devices with a LAN IP address, full network speed is available. Therefore, I suspect that the NAT loopack function on the WNDR4500 is not functioning properly and reduces the available bandwidth to less than 1 MB/S. The internet connection is down: 40mbits / Up: 8mbits. I checked QOS parameters and all seems fine, e.g. no change when inputing a large number on the internet bandwidth. Anyone experienced this issue? Thanking you in anticipation.Solved
