FVS336gv2 not connectiong with xfinity
Ok, so I have an Xfinity account and a small home network behind an FVS316G firewall. Everything seems to be OK at the moment. However, Xfinity just upgraded me to a much faster connection (over 100 Mbps), and I noticed that I can only get 16 Mbps through the firewall. So, I got myself an FVS336Gv2 firewall, hoping that I can increase the speed, as it is rated higher. But it does not seem to be wilig to connect to the ISP. On the existing firewall, the connection is set to have no login, and everything is dynamic. It connects. Then I hook up the FVS336, set it up the same way, and it does not connect. I do see that the working firewall defaults to PPoE when I select "no login" while the FVS336 defaults to "PPTP (Austria)". Is that possibly the reason, and how do I change it? Also, what firewall throughput can I expect if I get this running? I saw some people who said they could not get more than 60 Mbps. That would be a 4 fold increase for me, but still below the speed the ISP provides.3.9KViews0likes10Comments
