Download Speed is just under 300Mbps for a 1GB Connection

Hi,

 

I Started with the 100Mb services several years back and have upgraded over the years and when i upgraded to 500Mbps I believe I was getting around 300Mbps but I have since upgraded to 500 and then to 1GB but my download has stayed at 300Mbps still. 

I use my Hub5 in modem mode connected to a Draytek 2860 and I run all the test wired directly to the Draytek router.

Can anyone please help on how to get the full speed or at least very close enough.

Thanks in advance.

  • The 2860 is a great device but it's an older model and limited to 300Mbps.

    You'll need a later model if you want to take advantage of the faster WAN.

      Thanks for your Response and time, I erroneously thought it was Gb as well, well time for a new Router then!

    having 1Gb ports is one thing having CPU do the throughput is another
