Wifi speed problems on utm 9.705

Hi.

i have a UTM 9.705 versjon up and running.

i have been using sophos for some time. and now i have a speed problem for my wifi.

I have a amplifi alien router NEW.  i have connected this on my lan. ang get poor speed download, but good upload speed.

I have a fiber connection 500/500. and i get full speed directly to my isp modem.

if i connect my alien router before my sophos i get full speed up and down. ( thats modem-router)

so my que is, is there a setting or something that is affecting my speed down on utm? i have gigabit lan cards innstalled. 

i have a home user licence on my utm.

Lars

  • Hei Lars and welcome to the UTM Community!

    I bet Amodin's comments are on target.  If you don't see anything in the Intrusion Prevention log, it's probably your CPU.  What CPU do you have and how much RAM?

    Then again, does ifconfig show packet loss?

    Cheers - Bob

  • I had assumed he had full performance on lan and was only suffering issue on wifi devices.  Lars can you confirm? 

    Because if LAN devices also not performing well then an underpowered cpu will have major affect on ips throughput as snort is single threaded and heavily dependant on both high ghz and efficient cpu, though you did mentioned you disabled services which I assume also meant IPS and web filtering.

    We're all curious what root cause is at this point.

  • im working the issue, withouut luck. the problem is only wifi. lan is normal (full speed)

    my cpu and ram on utm is normal, 30-40% use. 

    what is strange is, if i connect my laptop before utm then i have no problem on wifi out to my isp. so it is the utm problem lies.

    i have tried to switch off everything i can think of now. but no luck.

    i have began to set up a new server with clean innstall utm. no backup. so this is my next step. 

  • To add to my comments below - make sure that any access points you have are on their own channels, especially if you have a 2.4 GHz AP.  APs using the same channels will cut your speed down, so assign static channels to each one that is different.  I have my three APs assigned to channels 1, 6 and 11.

    Check the area around you using a Wi-Fi analyzer (free smartphone tools) to see what congestion is around you on what channels are being used.
