Hello,
Have the new black ONT and the 1100 gateway. When I was on the 150/150 plan I had no issues with speed on my GateProtect firewall when it was connected via ethernet from the ONT (at this point the coax was still connected to the 1100 for channel guide), and the wan on the 1100 was connected to a wide-open, separate subnet from my internal network and everything worked great.
No wiring touched and they upgraded my speed to gig. Have not been able to get anywhere near the speeds (best has been 620/340).
Did some speed testing from the CLI of the firewall and same thing - it wasn't getting enough in to it to send out to my network.
Spent time with support and they opted to send a tech today. Guy tested all the usual stuff and ended up plugging the 1100 directly into the ONT, laptop into the 1100 and the speeds worked fine.
Because I need the external IP address on the firewall (client access, VPN, etc.), we tried to put the unit in bridge mode then plug into the firewall - same slow response; however, we also plugged a laptop directly into the ONT, got the IP address and STILL slow speed (which took the firewall out of the mix at this point).
Therefore I ask, why would it work fine at 150/150 and bomb out at gig unless you did a factory reset on the 1100 and plugged into it? Any ideas?
The firewall is capable of 10g speeds (I use the same firewalls in large corporations), so it's not an interface speed thing. I also tried auto-neg and manually set the speeds on the nic with no change in performance. Additionally, I left the MTU size set to 1500 on everything so I don't have a mis-match there...
Kinda stumpped and if anyone has any clues I would certainly appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.
