Internet Speed Issue with SG-2100

You have unfortunately bought below your needs :-(
Good catch .... bits are not bytes. The convention says : 8 bits is a byte.

120 MB/S
== close to 1000 Mega bits /sec.
Strange ....
Throwing "can a SG-2100 do more then 1000 Mega bits or 1 Giga bits" in "your favourite search engine" would have answered that that question right away.
-
Why not just use the SG-7100 on the picture? That will handle Gigabit just fine :-)

@keyser to be honest with you I needed a compact official hardware, SG-7100 has its own dilemma and I found 2100 more effective and in some aspects faster processing power than SG-7100

The 7100 is a somewhat strange device when it comes to discrete NICs - most of its ports is on a LAGG uplinked switch which makes configuration “strange” and sometimes decidedly tricky.
But I sincerely fail to see any case where you would find the slow dual core ARM processor in SG-2100 faster than the Atom processor in the 7100. The atom has a big lead in per core performance (-3x) and especially all core performance (up to 12x).

But the SG-2100 is a VERY sweet little box if the 600-700mbit firewall performance without inspection is good enough for your needs. It handles pfBlockerNG without breaking a sweat.

Currently SG-2100 with PfblockerNG and Snort gives me download speed of up to 70 MBytes /s
Disabling services is not impacting the speed much, I was thinking when the device has lan 1000 ports it gives 1000 speed
-
As others have said you won't get full 1G through the 2100 for a file transfer like that.
You might get closer to 800Mbps for multiple streams and without Snort running.
With both pfBlocker and Snort running for a file transfer what you are seeing looks to be what I would expect.

@stephenw10
Ok thanks
So as it seems I have to cleanup and reformat my 7100 and use that
-
Conclusion :
Switched back to 7100 ( drive was corrupted, I had to reinstall the system )
**7100 Download Speed with Active Snort & PFSBlockerNG Dev & ... ** exact same speed that Cable Modem gives ...
BUT
SG-2100 gives enough throughput to be used with WIFI, it can reach the WIFI AX-E Max speed ( ~ 70MB/s )Thanks for all the replies and guidance
