FVS318Gv2 Poor WAN to LAN throughput
Hi,
Broadband upgraded to 200 Mbps last week. My firewall has the latest firmware. Connected through PPPOE. When PC is connected directly to modem (provided by ISP), speedtest indicates up/down speed ran at the 180Mbps level, which is reasonable. However, when PC is connected through the FVS318G v2, throughput dropped down to 50 - 70 Mbps level. Tried changing MTU which had no effect on speed. It's not cablinig issues either. The firewall is configured in the simplest way, no VPN, no Qos, no DMZ, no VLan, etc. so there shouldn't be anything affecting performance that way. Anyone has any idea?
FYI, data sheet shows Wan-Lan throughput should be 250Mbps level.
Thanks,
YK
- I asked this same quest some time ago, it doesn't supoport fastpath routing over PPPoE connections and is apparently a hardware limitation so you won't get much more than that, ever.

Wow, yet another limitation that isn't mentioned in the documentation.
I'm really glad I didn't deploy these at our company.....
