Model: ER8411  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.2

 

Hello everyone,

 

I have a TP-Link Omada ER8411 configured with 4 fiber optic lines of 1 Gbps connected to the WAN ports. Each line, when tested individually and at different times, reaches around 900 Mbps, which is normal and expected.

However, the problem occurs when I run speed tests simultaneously on all 4 lines. Instead of maintaining close to 1 Gbps per line or summing up the performance, the speed on each line drops to around 400 Mbps. I don't think this should happen.

 

Here is my current setup:

  • I am using the 4 x 1 Gbps ports on the router for the WAN connections.
  • The SFP+ port is used for the LAN connection to my devices using switch SG3452X v1.20 with 10Gb conection

 

Does anyone know if this is a hardware limitation of the ER8411, or is there a configuration I can adjust to resolve this issue?

I appreciate any suggestions or explanations.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @est3ban129 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

What do you expect in this case? It's balanced based on your configuration. And in a ratio, zero should not exist.

I have set it to 0 - 1-1-1-1 because the 0 corresponds to the active WAN SFP+ port, which cannot be deactivated (in previous firmware versions, it could be). If it is set to a number greater than 0, load balancing fails since that port has no connection.

The four 1s correspond to the fibers I have connected.

So, with 4 fibers have something to do for get maximum speed at same time ?
