      @johnpoz ok i tested it a bit further and i think it is a windows problem. I repeated the tests on a Linux PC and I always got my 200Mbit without establishing multiple connections (iperf option -P). I don't think I have to bother anyone here with this topic. ;) Thank you once again for the help.

        did you actually enable window scaling - all the posts you show it disabled.

        edit: never mind looks like you did enable it.

          @orkopaede I don’t see in the thread that you checked traffic shaping? I’ve seen many threads where an old setting was left enabled.

          Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

              @orkopaede So i guess it is what it is... a Windows problem.

                @orkopaede Hi! Run wireshark on the Windows machine and see if anything catches your eye. Also check Windows power-saving for the NIC you are connecting from. For some poorly written drivers, Windows tends to make some bass-ackwards assumptions about what "energy saving" vs "disrupting key functionality" means.
