The Product description states "100Mbps throughput" - Why is that the case if both the WAN and LAN ports are Gigabit?

Hi Lou - I do not have much feedback on the ZyXel. The BPL-ONE on the other hand, is a great new Peplink model that is built for a small office, home office scenario. As you can see it can handle 1Gbps of throughput so would be able to stay in your network for a long time even when bandwidth is more readily available.

Hi Lou wolf - LAN to WAN internet bound traffic will be limited to the 100Mbps throughput. Local traffic can utilize the interface speed of 1Gbps. The reason for gig ports on both LAN and WAN is that is the new standard for interface speed on our hardware platform and leaves the ability for Peplink to increase throughput if possible down the road. .

Both WAN links will be active and the router will asign a WAN to each connection. So each active network connection will be using the link with the best availability at any time.

Something is not right there. On a wired 1Gbps connection with a single copy I would expect at least 400Mbps, with speeds over 700Mbps on faster switches (efficient internal packet forwarding). That is from testing when I first received the unit (tested with 4 x 5200 RPM Toshiba 160GB in RAID 5, prior to 4 x 7200 RPM Seagate 750GB in SHR I have had in it since then - but I haven't tried that on a fast switch, my home switch seems to max about 500Mbps).For comparison, I've seen speeds close to single line speed (~900Mbps) on a DS713+/DX513 combo.If you are on WiFi, I would run hardwired tests for comparison. Then start troubleshooting your WiFi. Something is not right there.

Yes, Gigabit ethernet is supported. The on-board network connector supports 10/100/1000Mbps connection speeds. 1000Mbps is equal to 1 gigabit per second, thus the term "Gigabit ethernet". Of course you should have a Gigabit Router\Switch and CAT5e or CAT6 cables to get the best speeds between your other LAN PCs. Your network is only as fast as the slowest device... or "weakest link".

The LAN interface on my TD-8816 is connected to a 1GbE switch. The negotiated link speed is 100Mbps, which is >10x faster than the link speed of my ADSL service.

I can get 30mb/s over gigabit with jumbo frames and two drives in raid 1. There's a lot of variability depending on if you're moving one large file or many small ones. I don't know if this is due to my drives or the nas.

The best info I can find shows that the 2nd gen had 10m WAN ports. If that's true then "yes!" It might be worth checking your config utility to see if there's a port speed setting (or any reference to speed). I had these symptoms with an old Linksys and was blown away when the WAN port bottleneck was lifted (when i bought a new router with a 100M WAN port). I still never got more than about 15Mbps WiFi (even though wired was faster) but it was noticeably better. YMMV.

My devices are hooked up through a gigabit switch, however, the switch is reporting 10/100 speed on those ports. So to answer your question, it downgrades gigabit to 10/100.

I do not know the speed, but you would think its 100 Mbit/s because that's what Ethernet is capable of. Anyway, when I watch movies using DLNA, I have not had any hiccups or slowdown whatsoever. But of course I watch movies that are that big in file sizes.

I am using them for a point to point VPN between my 2 stores. They are limited to one site and 5 dial in connections. This capacity was not shown in the supplied documentation but was added when I updated the firmware. You can find the updated documentation on the Cisco website.

This has only USB 3.0 and esata. I would recommend this as I have 2 NAS box from IOMEGA, and transfer rate is very low, I have cisco EA6500 with Gig port. I am getting speed not more than 10 mbps. Instead if I connect this device to the router, It does the same, with USB 2.0 and gives 15-20 mbps. I am not sure for what purpose you need ethernet.

Gigabit is pointless Unless you have a hundred high speed computers all hooked up to it trying to download a massive amount of data at once. In most instances, 10MB is plenty fast for data transfer. 100MB is even overkill. Your computer couldn't even process that much information per second unless you have an insane fast computer with high speed SSD drives. Or you're trying to stream 4K video in a hotel room, for some reason. If you find a Marriott with 4K tv's in the room - let me know.

I found it to be exactly the same. The only difference being the gigabit WAN support. Old one would top out at ~70 and this one easily handles our 100/20

Whether the router line enters a Low, Med, or High port on the switch, there is no impact on the speed of connected devices. I tested this. Also, the relative speed of connected devices does not vary between the Low, Med, or High ports unless there is a lot of traffic (e.g., streaming HD video) on a higher-priority port. The switch will then take some bandwidth from lower priority ports to ensure the quality of service on the higher priority port. Nearly all of the time, all ports will operate at the same high speed. WD should really document these things better, because while they're obvious to IT professionals, they're far from obvious to the home users that this product is marketed towards.

10/100 if your looking for gigabit local lan use a gigabit router in tandem

This product will definitely limit your speed. I have a 50mbit comcast connection and this product limits it to 16mbs. This is very unclear from the packaging and datasheet. For a gigabit router to only support 24mbit downlink seems unacceptable.

Old post, I know, but I thought I would point this out to anyone reading this in the future. It's important to note that 10/100 Ethernet is 100 Mbps (Megabits per second), which is NOT the same as MB/s (Megabytes per second). That boils down to 10/100 Ethernet being slower than USB 2.0. 1 MB = 1024 kB, 1 kB = 1024 bytes, 1 byte = 8 bits Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) can be faster than USB 2.0 but it is hard to actually get gigabit, you need a computer that can handle it at that speed, a router that can, the NAS itself, and the cables themselves matter. 5 MB/s is still slow for 10/100 though, that's about 42 Mbps.
