Model: ER707-M2  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 20240324

Just updated to a ER707-M2 from a Fortigate FG61F

Latest firmware loaded. 1.2.2 Build 20240324 Rel. 42799

Bottom of the unit says it's v1.6 but the gui shows v1.0. TP-Link has 2 download links for the different versions but they appear to be the same in this case.

 

Throughput seems slower than it should be. I was getting nearly a gig with my Fortigate FG-60F and at just 150Mbps of throughput the CPU is pegged at 100%

 

What am I missing?

try disabling IPS/IDS, the router is too weak for that.

Hi @DACZ 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Common Questions About the Hardware Version and Firmware Update

 

About the throughput, the DPI or IDS will require the CPU to examine every packet pattern and signature.

The DPU cannot do this job so it is left idle. When you disable the DPI/IDS, you get DPU working again. So, the throughput looks much better.
