Zyxel USG 60 W throughput

Good afternoon all,
We are wondering why we getting a slow speed on in our network.
The incoming supply is running at about 160 MBPS is measured by plugging a laptop straight into the incoming router i.e. on the outside of the DMZ whereas on a workstation we are getting about 60 MBPS.
The switches between the USG 60 W and our office are both running at gigabit and the wiring interconnects are a mixture of fibre and CAT7
Any thoughts team?

Hi @Dovetail_MD,With UTM feature enabled, traffics are thoroughly scanned by USG, it would have effect on performance.0

Good morning
Thank you for your reply
Really as much of a hit to knock the speed down by 50%?0 -
Hi @Dovetail_MD,
It is possible when all UTM features are enabled.0 -

Good morning
Thank you - I guess we could use a simple firewall rather than one with modem facilities as we have a modem from our broadband supplier which does simple NAT
But does this simplification really improve throughput?
Best wishes

Hi @Dovetail_MD,
The throughput will be higher if it just runs as a pure NAT router without UTM services. However, your network will lose the protection from USG instead. It depends on what purpose you want to achieve in your network environment.

You misunderstand
The vendor's router does NAT - I'm asking if no NAT and perhaps no wifi on the ZYXEL inboard of that will help speed0 -
And perhaps if Zyxels had more processor grunt the hit of UTM would be less?0

By default this is on and limits your speed so try this

@PeterUK, True, It will have performance improvement if we uncheck collect statistics.@Dovetail_MD, UTM service is the most CPU power consuming application, even though if you only enabled the UTM function without NAT, the improvement will still be limited0
