How to achieve greater than 1Gbps on XGS116

I'm looking to utilize a 2Gbps symmetrical connection on an XGS116. Based on the specs, it should be able to handle 7.7Gbps, or 2.0Gbps with NGFW enabled. I've currently got the upstream CPE connected via a 10Gbps SFP+ module to a CS110-48P on its own isolated VLAN, then a LAG with two cables to the firewall. Yet speed testing with multiple clients seems to be hard limited to 1Gbps.

Shouldn't this be possible? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Hi, Please provide a drawing of your configuration. What you are seeing is the advertised specifications for each function of the firewall under ideal conditions, this is an industry standard approach…

LAG with 2x 1Gb/s cables to the firewall = 2 Gb/s effective speed for you? I don't think so.
Maybe for (all) sessions you have in total via round robin...

I'm aware it's not as good as a 10Gbps link, but shouldn't it be better than 1Gbps? As I said, I'm running speed tests from multiple clients, so there are multiple sessions being used. I'm not concerned if one client can saturate the link.

Please also check if you have the right LAG mode (on booth sides):

Don't look at the clients, just check your LAG (member) interfaces on the firewall -> diagnostics -> system graphs.
On my firewall with LAG, I can see the traffic is nearly 50:50 on my LAG interface (as it should).
