Anyone using this combination ?

I was using the 2862 successfully with the Virgin M350 service, Virgin hub in modem mode connected to WAN2 on the Vigor - getting expected download/upload of 350/50.

I've now upgraded to Virgin Gig1 Fibre, again Virgin hub in modem mode connected to WAN2 on the Vigor - now getting download/upload of 240/50.

Connecting my PC directly to the Virgin Superhub 4 yields expected results around 980/50 which confirms the service is working.

Why the drop in performance - is the 2862 not up to the task even though WAN2 is rated as a gigabit port ?

Its WAN's throughput is 400Mb/s. That's why.

The limiting factor is the Firewall performance, according to the specs @ https://www.draytek.co.uk/products/business/vigor-2862#specifications

It's intriguing that the throughput has fallen though...

Probably because of packet drops and retransmissions.

I tested with firewall disabled - WAN2 is listed as 1GB so I would have expected at least something better than the M350 service it replaced

That's precisely what is confusing me, never expected that
