ER605 50% Download Speed Out of Box Regardless of Settings, Standalone Etc
I have recently installed a brand new ER605 in a new environment. Connected directly to an ISP media converter running Dynamic IP DHCP.
With a hardwire connection to the media converter, I get the rated 1Gbps down/1Gbps up.
Once I installed the ER605, the results were 500Mbps down/1Gbps up.
I have tried in standalone and adopted to a software controller.
I have tried multiple different Cat6 cables.
I have tried enabling and disabling hardware offload.
I have attempted factory reset and cold boots.
I have tried disabling all security features, with no change.
I have ensured that no control/qos settings are enabled.
I have tried with flow control on and off for the WAN port.
I have been through every single setting and cannot determine the root cause of this issue beyond a faulty device, OR the device itself cannot handle 1Gbps fiber connections.
Any joy from the group on resolving a similar issue? I see Reddit chatter, but no joy from those threads.

Thank you Vincent.
I am unable to run a quick test right now as it's the work week, but on the weekend I should be able to run a test from WAN through to LAN between 2 PC's.
In the meantime, with some quick experimenting I noticed something - Running a UDP test to an iperf server in my locale targeting 1000m connection speed runs at 960m. Running the same TCP test to any available iperf server in my locale maxes at 60Mbit. The interesting part, to me, is that UDP fully saturated at 960.
