      Hi,

      I'm aware of the published specs for the SG3100. I wanted to ask if anyone out there had real-world experience with the throughput so that I can potentially adjust my expectations.

      I recently changed from a 100/20 Mbps plan to a 350/60 Mbps plan. I can consistently peg the upload side of things on both plans, but the download side seems to be peaking a ~250 Mbps.

      I have a fairly sane ruleset of maybe 50 total rules. I have the onboard switch configured with individual VLANs on each of the 4 physical ports. The OPT port has a trunk with 2 VLANs on it.

      Before I get in touch with the ISP, I wanted to ensure I'm not doing anything "wrong" (that would limit throughput).

      Thoughts?

        @jd3 You can back up your config, restore to factory defaults, and then try your speed tests again -- if the speeds are still slow then you likely have an upstream issue. If they go back to what you're expecting then it's likely a configuration issue.

          Mmm, the 3100 should pass far more than that with a clean config if traffic conditions allow.

          Do you have packages installed? Traffic shaping enabled?
