Hello,
I'm not a Sophos expert like many of you but I knew that it was a great value to be able to leverage enterprise grade firewall technology at a home. I signed up for and received the home license for UTM and installed it on a Zotac ZBOX-CI325NANO its got a quad-core intel celeron processor, 120gb SSD and either 4 or 8 gb of ram. When I had Comcast 100mb service I consistently received that speed at my end point devices. Comcast Gig recently became available and I decided to sign up. When I connected to the modem directly with my laptop I was able to get 940mb (although only from Comcasts own speedtest.xfinity.com website. If I plug my firewall in to the modem and connect directly to the firewall (with no switch) my speed drops to 500 mb on that same speedtest site. I check my firewall dashboard and the performance metrics all look good (low utilization on CPU, Memory, disk etc.). Does anyone have any advice on how I can get the most performance out of this? What optimizations could I make? Where do you think the bottleneck is? Obvious suggestions are ok too because I'm obviously not as practiced with this device as many of you. Thanks!
