All Web pages loads very slowly with a fast internet connection

Hi Samuel Venker,

You could start by checking the interface negotiation 100FD or 100HD ,you may also check if there is any negotiation issue between WAN or LAN with the next in-line device.

Open Console go to Option 4 and typ ethe command

console > system dia uti band       "press 'u' twice"

Check if there is any error's E/S  (error/second)

If so then lower the link speed.

Also another step provide us the output of the command;

Console> sh net interfaces

You may obfuscate your Public Address for privacy and try to change the MSS value to 1452 and MTU to 1492.

Hi Aditya,

Thanks for your feedback. Very appreciated!

I did what you just said but I am confused by the MTU changes.

First, I checked the errors doing the "system dia uti band" and I don't get any errors:

Then I do the cmd: sh net interfaces or ifconfig in advanced shell, this what I get:

However, when I try to lower the MTU, it says that I need to have 48bytes difference which I believe I have...

Am I changing it in the right place ? It is suprising that I cannot change the MTU. I tried to clicked "Overwrite MTU"

Appreciate your help on this.

Regards

Sam

Hi Samual ,

You can set the MTU the same and check if the connection speed would improve using MSS value is 1412.

Hi Aditya,

Still the same issue with the setting below...

To give an example, I just loaded https://www.bbc.co.uk/  (from Firefox with private browsing) and it takes 30 seconds. It seems that every back and forth with the site are taking ages...

If I use my 4G network on my mobile and share the connection via Wifi, it takes roughly 7 seconds.

Any idea ?

Hello,

Could you try to reboot the firewall and check if it's better?

Hello,

Still the same :-(

A video with the Sophos: https://youtu.be/X9Jh5yN_lnw

(I also tried directly on the LAN at 1000mb/s)

A video with the 4G tethering: https://youtu.be/pDF5il8Diqc

Any other idea please ?

What is the speedtest behind firewall ?

I would remove direct connection between modem and firewall and use a switch to connect them. It is worth a try.

Here is the result of the speed test. All is perfect.

I don't have a spare switch to put between the modem and the Sophos Firewall. I am actually suprised that you are suggesting this.

For information, this morning I tested with our previous Router and everything is perfect with it. All webpages are loading very well !

Please check the video where you see the page loading very quickly without the sophos (same modem, same wifi): https://youtu.be/0ZSH_KyZUIk

I am tempted to request a refund as this is not wroking properly !

Any other idea would be appreciate ?

If you can download a file at full download speed behind firewall,i would check the DNS. If you are not finding any issues with DNS settings, we are running out of options.

Bonjour,

Je me permets de vous répondre en Français car je vois que le speedtest est en français! 

Effectivement comme le soulignent les autres personnes il pourrait s'agit d'un problème de DNS, ou alors d'un problème de configuration sur le Firewall.

Sur quels serveurs DNS pointe le client sur lequel le test de connexion est effectué ?
