Netgear FVS318v3 WAN throughput issue

Hi all - got a problem...

I currently have 5 Netgear FVS318v3 8 port firewalls deployed around the country. I have been upgrading the connections to 30+ meg from 1.5 meg and on the first one I discovered that the throughput is non-existent.

I have a modem that gives me 28-32 meg DL throughput consistently but when I plug in the firewall it drops to 6 1/5 meg DL at best!

I have upgraded to the latest firmware version from netgears web site (as of 5.21.2010) with no effect...

Any thoughts??

Specs list 12.5 Mbps LAN to WAN throughput. I was only ever able to get about 7 Mbps out of one. Good devices but stuck in the dinosaur ages of speed.

It's a know fact of the low LAN-to-WAN throughput on these devices. Check out Small Net Builder ...

Click on the FVS318 review, it's 3rd from the bottom of the list, then go to the performance page. You may want to replace them. In case you have the FVS318G, it's 10th from the bottom of the list.
