Model: OC200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I have an oc200 and a new er7206.  The speed test from the controller doesn't come close to getting the right value, I am guessing because whatever running the test isn't powerful enough.  Is it running from the oc200 or from the er7206?

The OC200 has only a 100mbps port, my speed tests come in way over the 300mbps rate indicating its not the Controller.

 

At a guess its the gateway yes..

duh, why didn't I think of that! Thank you, so  it must be running from the router then.

For comparison. My Omada speed test returns about 65% of what any other speed test returns on my system.

Mine was actually about the same. I have gigabit and it was giving me about 600 Mbps.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but maybe I should. 

 

Wanted to say that I had the same experience with the Omada Speed Test being about 50-75% of what other speed tests are reporting. 

I'm on Fios Gigabit, and getting 900Mbps up and down according to Ookla. Getting 850 according to LAN Speed Test running between my desktop and my NAS. 

 

TP-Link widget shows between 550-600 over the course of a week of daily tests. 

 

 

OC200, 2x SG-TL3428, T1500G-10MPS, 3x EAP225, Firewalla Gold (replaced ER-605)
