Model: ER7212PC  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I just replaced an ER605 with an ER7212PC. I imported my original site into the new omada setup. I have 1GB service to WAN3 until i

I can get fiber to my house. My old setup has 4 PCs, plus a whole bunch of home automation devices on wireless and ethernet to one VLan at the moment. my problems is that all of the devices from the old VLan only have 80Mbps down link speed, but any new device I connect Has full speed. What is the fix, or do I have to reset everything and start over? I hate the idea of reconfiguring 50 devices. i cant see any bandwidth limits turned on anywhere in the setup.

Hi @Chaz4jc 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Upgrade the firmware to the latest first.

The link speed we commonly refer to is 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps. Or are you referring to the Internet speed that you tested?

 

If the speed degrades so badly, you should check your cables.

My ISP supplies at gigabit 1000Mbps and it speed tests a 960Mbps download speed. Any laptop or device that was not connected before I swapped out the router and imported the old settings will speed test at 960, but anything that was imported with the change speed tests at less than 90Mbps. the first thing the new router did was update the firmware. The EAPS when I reset them and they were adopted. my phones and tablets all speed test at 470Mbps, which is the best the EAPs can do, I can't find any speed limitations set anywhere in the setup. I am at a loss.

I assume you are sophisticated enough to do the basic checks on the physical settings.

Do you use the same speed test server to test this time? Or ISP-provided server?

I am not saying the tool but the actual server to test your speed. Is that the same server?

DNS resolution can direct you to different servers and may cause the result inaccurate.

DNS can also take a toll on your speed test results.

 

You are on 1000Mbps link speed with the proper DNS and test server and you got 90 Mbps. Which is something I would presume is not hardware at all.

If you run iperf server on the WAN port, a iperf client PC in LAN, and do the speed test, will you get a proper NAT throughput?
