      Running the sppedtest-cli gives me:

      But the speed test web interface gives me 87.09 Mbps when run between the above test,

      will have a look to see if/how I can run the speedtest-cli on the windows laptop.

        When running the speedtest-cli (in python) from the windows laptop everything looks fine, but I still get a slower throughput when downloading files i.e. http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/100MB.zip

          You might check to see it's some sort of flow control issue. The easiest way to test that is to put an unmanaged switch between the SG-1000 WAN and whatever it's connected to if you can.

                Hmm, that does seem to be an unusually high number of OUT packet blocked on WAN.

                Do you see that number increase specifically when you run a test that is slow?

                Do you see traffic blocked in the firewall log?

                Are you running anything that might be blocking that like Snort or pfBlocker?

                  I'm not running anything that I can think of that would be blocking traffic, I have defaulted the SG-1000 as part of trying to work this out so unless there something in there by default.

                  the blocked out packet don't move when doing a speed test.

                  looking at the logs I have a few noisy devices (another rabbit hole to chase down), but most of the traffic look like android devices phones, tablets, tv, etc...

                  what log does the out block go to? looking at /var/log/filter.log I only see block on the in?

                  any who, here's a dump from the gui, if it helps.

                    It depends what exactly that is and what logging is enabled. The fact it's not showing as blocked in the firewall log by the default block rule implies it's either something that's blocked by the firewall and not logged or it's something that's blocked for some other reason like it's malformed packets.
                    The fact the number doesn't increase during the test implies it's probably not the cause there though.

                    Those blocks that are shown are all out of state TCP packets and they all have destination port 443/80. That is some client acknowledging the closed TCP session after the state has been closed. Not something that should ever cause a problem.

                    Try running at the command line when you are doing the test top -aSH. Hit q to stop during the test and you can copy-paste the output here. That should show if you're hitting CPU limitation somehow.

                      I don't see any limiting?

                        No, 52% idle looks fine. It would be good to see what is using the CPU though.

                            Hmm, nothing much happening there besides the NIC interrupt load which is what you would expect. Definitely not CPU limited then. What sort of throughput were you seeing when that was shown?

                                Don't know if this would help, but I found a file with in my ISP network that gave me near top speed for testing.

                                I now get only ~3% idle cpu and a ~27% reduction in throughput instead of a ~76% reduction when testing

                                how much of throughput reduction would be expected when putting the SG-1000 inline?

                                  I have tested the SG-1000 to at lest 125Mbps so I would not expect any reduction on a 100Mb line. At least not limited by CPU.

                                    Thank you @stephenw10, do you have any suggestions on what I can try next to figure out why I'm seeing a reduction in throughput?

                                    Do I need to capture traffic logs? I should be able to do that on the laptop.

                                      Yes if you're able to capture test traffic we should be able to see any TCP weirdness for example.

                                        Sorry for the slow update, work got in the way. anyways got some capture data and anonymised it, They can be found on this onedrive share pcapng files.

                                        I could see anything that jumped out but then again I'm not really sure what I should be looking for.

                                          Great. Ok those captures are ~55Mbps via the SG-1000 and ~75Mbps direct? Rather than one of the very low numbers you saw previously like 2Mbps?

                                            Take a look at your window size.. Looks be huge different in size between when your running through sg1000 an when not... So yeah that would DRASTICALLY affect your overall download speed..

                                            Also seeing lots of retrans in your sg1000 sniff..

                                            Where exactly was this sniff taken, at the client or on the sg1000?
