| NSA 2400 killing my bandwidth We have a nsa 2400 and a cox cable 50/5 modem
outside the nsa I can see speeds of 50 + dn and 6-7 up
going through the sonic wall, the download speeds go to 2-3 down and remain 5-7 up. makes zero sense. I have no services running. (that I know of)
I have had the modem replaced and same results. |

| How are you testing your speeds? Speedtest?
Are you sure about the "no services" part? With those kinds of numbers, sounds like
a) you have an insane amount of rules to process, or b) IPS, UTM or a combination
is screwing your throughput up.
If you think it's the NSA, best thing to do is take the NSA offline, grab two high-end
PCs with Gig NICs, load on IPERF or similar and blast traffic through till either the
PCs or the NSA goes up in smoke.

check to see if you have security/gateway filtering on. that has to process the packets before they can hit the PCs on the network and will slow it down.
log into the sonicwall and uncheck the interfaces you are using (i am assuming you have 1 WAN and 1 LAN, but maybe you are also using OPT....?) |
|
| I have double checked and there are no filters running. I have two interface X0 for LAN and X1 for WAN. I have set the Security to Opimized and not full security. rebooted and no change. is it possible that the X1 interface is having issues? I cant set it to auto negotiate. wont link if I do. have to set it to Full 100 duplex to have it work at all. |

If you have active support, open a ticket at mysonicwall.com and they will likely respond within 24hrs. Check for software updates first though, and like the rest have said, be absolutely sure you have disabled all services (under the Security Services menu). Check them all...CFS, Gateway AV, IPS, Anti-Spyware...
Also make sure you don't have a policy rule that is limiting inbound bandwidth per connection (Firewall Settings>Bandwidth Management) or Ingress/Egress bandwidth limitations set on an interface (Network>Interfaces, then configure WAN/LAN interfaces) bandwidth is on advanced tab.
The navigation suggested is based on SonicOS 5.8. |

if you have security set to optimized it doesn't sound like you have security off.
you should be able to switch security off, completely (just to test). |

Any QOS setup? It shouldn't matter but I have seen it just plain old goof stuff up by having the rules in place.

Tomdlgns. Sorry. I cant locate any setting to switch security completely off.
I did change the negotiation to 100mb Half Duplex and could get download speeds of 14-20mbs,
I will figure out how to shut security off and try again.
thank you. |

I have not configured any QOS, but there are the default QOS mappings in place. anything there I should adjust? |
|
| reply to Landresen
are you on standard OS or enhanced OS?
i have a sonicwall (several of them) running standard OS.
under the security settings (gateway, IPS, etc...) you can un-check the interface box do disable security for that interface (WAN,LAN, OPT or x0,x1,x2, etc...). |
