      I have an interesting throughput issue here, at least for me.

      Speedtest.net shows 85 mbps

      speedof.me shows 2.5 mbps

      testmy.net shows 2.5 mbps

      When I watch Twitch anything above 2.5 mbps buffers(anything above 480p)

      I can watch HD movies from Google fine

      Now when i remove the SG-1000 from the network and reprogram my wireless access point into router mode or plug straight into my cable modem(only modem, not a router), i get all speed test sites showing me about 85 mbps and everything is fast.

      So is there settings in the SG-1000 that i need to change?  It used to work fine, I tried updating and still no change.

      Any ideas?

        There is not nearly enough information here to say.

        First, make sure you are on a current snapshot Remove and traffic shaping or limiters you have in place for good measure.

        Then go to the firewall address, https://x.x.x.x/status.php and download the file it offers

        In that archive, check "Network-Interfaces.txt" to see if the interfaces show a proper speed/duplex, then look in "Network-Interface Statistics.txt" and see if there are any interface errors. Inside "OS-sysctl values.txt" there will also be some OID entries with statistics for the cpsw NICs which may also show errors. You can also look in "Process-List.txt" to see if anything in particular is consuming large amounts of CPU time.

          Through the web interface I did update the box to the latest(before getting the numbers in my first post).

          Never used traffic shapers or limiters on it.

          Network interfaces showed 1000 full duplex

          No Ierrs or Oerrs

          I brought the box into work and did some testing.

          Speedtest.net shows 120 mbps

          speedof.me shows 10 mbps

          testmy.net shows 10 mbps

          I also tried one of the other SG-1000s we bought for work with the same results for speeds.  My laptop directly behind the work firewall i am able to try the SG-1000s behind i get: speedtest 793, speedof 273, testmy 184

          When I put a public IP on it i got 16 mbps for speedof
