ER8411 - Slow Speed in SFP+ Port w/ TPLink Transceivers
Hello folks,
So I'm having really slow download speeds with the ER8411 when using TP Link SFP+ TL-SM5310-T. For reference, the same happened with a Wiitek module as well. Here some details:
ER8411 FW 1.1.0
SFP+ Module TL-SM5310-T
Standalone
Configuration:
ISP Modem on Bridge (2.5g port) -----> ER8411 (SFP+) ----> PCs and Access points in the switch ports.
Here the tests I've made:
1) Iperf from PC1 to PC2, on standard ports. Get full gigabit speed. Nothing wrong with the switch.
2) iperf from PC1 to PC2, one in standard port and the other on SFP+ port 2 Lan, with the SM5310-T. Get full gigabit speed. Module and SFP+ port 2 working perfectly.
3) ISP Modem, Bridge mode, connected to standard Wan port 4, PC1 connected to ER8411. Get full gigabit from ISP. So it doesn't seem to be anything with the ISP.
4) ISP modem, Bridge mode, connected to SFP+ Port 1 with the module, PC1 connected to ER8411. Speed is throttled down to 200 - 300 mbps.
So the only variable that I could see is the use of the SFP+ port as the iperf and other tests show the module and configuration are all working.
I've tried both Flow Control enable and disabled; Both in the WAN SFP+ Port 1 and Switch ports. Nothing seems to resolve this issue.
I know there's been some issues in the past related to this, but that was supposed to be fixed in the 1.0.2 fw.

in regards to the converter:
Years ago we had issues with customers using a type of ATT Fiber modem. We could never get our routers to connect or stay connected at 1G. They would connect at 100 full duplex, but never at 1G full.
Eventually we ended up putting managed switches between the ATT modems and our routers. We had to configure the switch at 1G full, and adjust flow control ( if I recall ).
We had do this hundreds of times with hundreds of customers. Heck, many of these are still out in the field.
I'm going to buy a "cheap" 10G managed switch and put that between my 10G provider and my 8411. I hate to add a middle device, but I think that may be our only solution to get ~10G wan to work.
