Extremely slow communication between LAN1 and LAN2 on the USG60

Traffic between LAN1 and LAN2 is extremely slow. I am not sure if replacing the USG with a more modern device would solve the issue. So, I was considering a Layer 3 switch to handle the traffic between the two LANs. Is this a viable solution? And if so, could you recommend a suitable product?

    Maybe a bad cable limiting you to NIC speed of 100Mb

    check your switches and device are 1Gb

    Yes the USG60 may be at a hardware limit to do the routing a Layer 3 switch setup up correctly with the USG60 can off load the traffic to go by the switch.

    something like a XS1935-10 or XGS2220-30

    Good morning. I don't know if it's possible to reopen this discussion, but I would like to report that even after replacing the USG60 with the USG FLEX 200H model, the speed—consistently measured using OpenSpeedTest—does not exceed 90 Mbps. How can I increase that speed? Thank you.

    Good evening, all the switches are 1Gb, as are the PC NICs. Anyway, I did this test. I connected a PC directly to a LAN1 port and tried running a speed test, again using OpenSpeedTest, to a brand-new server on LAN2 (it's the only one on LAN2). Unfortunately, even with this, the speed doesn't exceed 100m.
    Thanks

    I apologize for wasting your time. You were right, there was an old switch forgotten in a corner that was operating at 100Mbps. These things sometimes happen when multiple people are working on network devices. So, problem solved. Thanks again for your attention.
