Rosales217 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 current setup: netgear cm2000 —> netduma r2 (wifi disabled)—> amplifi alien (bridge mode) I was curious to know if there is any reason why i get slower speeds when i have my alien in bridge mode while plugged into the r2 vs when i have bridge mode disabled (w/ alien still behind r2). While in bridge mode i can barely the 600 mbps range vs when bridge mode is disabled i can easily hit 900+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newfie Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 What’s the throughput like on the R2 if you remove the Alien? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2021 I think if the alien is behind the R2 the whole time and you are capable of getting your full speeds through it behind the R2 then it's not a setting on the R2 restricting you and it may be better to contact amplifi about this.

Will have to do that. Another question I have is with the r2 as a stand-alone router is that my speeds are capped around 700 ish mbps even with qos disabled, while on the alien i get 900+. I run the speedtest.net and fast.com, both wired test on desktop. Could it be due to hardware limitations on part of the r2 or could it be something else.

Rosales217 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Sorry to bother again with my issues but i have two network switches, one managed and the other unmanaged. When connecting the the unmanaged switch to r2 i can’t get any ips to the devices connected to that switch but when i plug in my managed switch i can. So i decided to put the unmanaged switch behind the managed switch and it works fine but i am capped at 100mbs, well less than that really. I tried that exact same setup with the alien and got full speeds still. Also with the alien i was able to remove the unmanaged switch from behind the managed one and have it connected directly to the one of the ethernet ports on router and it gave out ips to the devices on that switch. Any clue as to why I can’t get the r2 to do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2021 Might just be what the R2 is capable of on your connection, however disable the protection options in WAN Settings - that may improve your speeds and whatever you get then will be the absolute max. The R2 should just hand out IPs to devices on the switch, have you disable DHCP or changed any options there at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosales217 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 Disabled the protection settings as suggested. All i have done in the dhcp settings is reserve ips, but I’ve recently done a factory reset a couple days ago and still the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2021 Did that boost the speeds at all? What is the model of the unmanaged switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the model of the unmanaged switch? it’s giving an extra 25 mbps on average so a little improvement. And the switch is a TP-Link TL-SG105.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted October 17, 2021 Thanks for the information, the only thing that it could be is that the switch uses green ethernet and has some QoS that might interfere with the router - unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to disable this on the switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
