aptiva1128 Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Just received R2 yesterday, after I plug it into my modem(directly, no any other router between modem and R2) and complete all steps for setup. Then I run speed test, just found it only provides around 90/80 download/upload speed. However, my ISP does provide 500/250 mbps for download and upload. Then I suddenly found it only shows 2 green lights, as the introductions of this modem: 2 green lights means 100m device 1 orange and 1 green light means 1000m device. From the picture attached, my current router ASUS N66U and my pc could be identified as 1000m device, and actually could get 4xx mbps download speed without issue(my pc) N66U only 300mbps download. So I am not sure if any settings could affect this, then I surveyed some articles to follow and did some steps: 1. Turn off IPV6 and QOS: not working, still 2 green light, and max speed won't over 100 mbps 2. Downgrade firmware to test: not working, still 2 green light, and max speed won't over 100 mbps 3. Upgrade to latest firmware to test: not working, still 2 green light, and max speed won't over 100 mbps 4. Factory reset: not working, still 2 green light, and max speed won't over 100 mbps I did think maybe cable issue, currently I am using the CAT 6 cabled attached with R2 box, but it got this issue. And switch the cable to current device which does got 1000mbps. EX: My pc could be identified as 1000m device, so I used its cable to plugin R2, however still 2 green lights, limited in 100mbps. So I am not sure if any other way to check if its WAN port got any issue here? I am worried it is a hardware issue, ex WAN port Could this be checked by remote access of tech support? Thanks for checking this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Liam Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Welcome to the forum! To verify this, could you please access the R2 interface and go to Device Manager. From here, click the three-line menu in switch to table view. If you could then send over a screenshot of the top table, that'd be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I tried to plug my pc into R2, and check device manager to get this, let me know if need anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2021 It does seem to be limited to 100Mbits there, can you use a different cable just to be certain? You could switch the cable in the LAN port with the WAN cable and see whether they switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I plug original cable of wan to lan port, and don't change anything in modem side, it shows this result. And modem does show 1 orange and 1 green lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2021 The R2 doesn’t appear to be connected to the modem there, just switch the cables the R2 has so modem - R2 is using the original R2 to PC cable and vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I misunderstand the previous comment, so I used original cable of wan to plug into lan of R2. Now I used cable of my pc to plug into r2 and modem(This cable works in my pc) And find another cable to plug my pc and r2, still get attached screehshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 11, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2021 Okay great thank you, can you go to Network Settings and then enable remote access please and let us know when done? I think we'll need a dev to connect and have a look, probably tomorrow at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netduma Liam Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 We won't be able to access this until early next week I'm afraid. In the mean time, let us know the exact make and model of your modem? It's be interesting to look up some of the features of this modem and check if there's anything we can do about it on that side.

aptiva1128 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 It is ok for that, current geo filter is working well, and I could use it first. BTW my modem model is Alcatel Lucent I-040G, you could use this to get related details I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2021 I can't find too much about it, can you provide a screenshot of the Alcatel interface please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Which interface? physical interface of port? The part we insert cable? or its bottom about spec details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 13, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2021 Like you access the R2 interface to change settings, that but for the Alcatel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Should be this one, let me know if this is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 14, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 14, 2021 Yes that's great thank you. It's not all in English so that does make it a bit harder, can you have a look around the interface and see whether they have QoS or anything that could be limiting/restricting the R2? Good first place to go would be to the Firewall and disable that and then re-test the R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 I don't think it has special setting to limit R2, please help to review the screenshot 1. Screenshot 2, it looks no special setting inside firewall to limit R2. BTW, no QOS configuration in this modem, check screenshot 3. The most important thing is please check "R2 PORT2" You could find currently R2 is using attached CAT6 cable, and only get 100m speed. If we think special port setting may limit R2 speed, so I use ETH PORT 1 of modem and the same cable to plug in to R2, and still only get 100m. (As you could see, currently ETH port 1 is working as 1000m device) FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted November 14, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thanks for that! Can you set the rate of speed for eth port 2 manually to 1Gbps/1000Mbits and see if that makes a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 I manually set it to be 1G bps, then ETH Port 2 both lights are disabled, no lights more, and no network for R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have any kind of a DMZ option? If so, could you please put the R2 in the DMZ and check if that resolves the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 After checking all pages of the modem, I don't find DMZ option, so could not test this. But I found my DGS-108 could identify 100m/1000m too. So I plug WAN of R2 into it, and get screenshot attached. Its LED is amber, BTW anohter amber is my network printer, both 100m. Other green light part is other pc or 1g hub in other rooms. This is the manual of DGS-108: https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1j3YykkauS.pdf Let me know if we have other solutions to test WAN port R2, thanks.

Netduma Liam Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Thanks for letting us know! If you try a different cable from the DGS-108 to the R2, do you get the same issue? If so, we'll have to configure the R2 so a dev can access it remotely and take a look at what might be going on in the backend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aptiva1128 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 This is the result of other cable, let me know if you need other angle of this. BTW, I used this cable for my other device, could get 1000m too, so used it for test. Note: I already enabled "Allow Remote Access to Tech Support" option, will wait contact of support.
