      @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.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: 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 restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                @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.
