Hi

Upgraded from Superhub 3/ 350mb package to superhub 4 / 1gig package.

Superhub 4 in modem mode. Cat6 cabling to Cisco ASA 5525x, HP Procurve 2810-48G

I cannot get any speeds past 500mb

Upload speeds a fine at 50mb

What sort of channels/ upstream / downstream should I be getting?

I have a fing box, which does 6 speed tests a day, and also I have an external monitor checking this.

Showing worse latency than before.

Fing shows speeds not exceeding 500mb.

Kinda a separate issues - one is intermittent issues to the admin page on superhub 4

The other is poor external download speeds.

What speeds do you get at >> Sam Knows Real Speed << with a direct connection using a Cat 5E or better ethernet cable between the Hub in Router Mode and a 1Gbs capable Pc/Mac/Chromebook and no other devices connected ?

Testing samknows gets me:

Connecting directly to the superhub 4 with cat6 in router mode gets the above

Connecting directly to my Cisco ASA 5525-x in router mode also gets me the same results.

I also have a fingbox, and the reports for this since I've upgraded to superhub 4+ 1gig shows max external speed at 550.

so speeds are fine according to the SamKnows reports on both the WAN and LAN side.

Hello

So getting 1Gbps to the hub which is good.

One of the issues I see is the default Gigabit Ethernet has a potential frame throughput of 81000 per second and therefore a high throughput for actual data (about 118 MB/s), giving efficiency of 94%, or 940Mbps.

I take it that the 'Fingbox' works using Wi-Fi ?

[c240amg]

Gig ethernet - am thinking that the fingbox can't test up to speeds of 1gb, even though it has a gig interface....

Still not getting as great speeds to my newsnet provider either..... Used to be able to get about 200-300mb download from it, but barely getting 150mb now.... something is definately slowly my downloads down..... Any ideas?

The SamKnows test shows you’re getting 1GB to the hub and 900+ to devices so your line is working fine.
