Slow internet browsing using Meraki MX-84 firewall

Hi Community!

 

I have a question about firewall MX-84 Series.

 

When I try to browse any website, the pages are very slow, and sometimes the page I want to access doesn't open. I've already checked my internal bandwidth and DNS settings, and everything is fine.

 

Do you know what the problem could be?

 

Best Regards!

Just remember that the maximum recommended number is 200 devices for this model (including the VPN client), so you are at the limit and it would be a good idea to check with support how your MX's CPU usage is.

How are your uplink settings? And the traffic shaping rules?

By the way, do you also have Threat protection and content filtering enabled?

I just have two more questions, how many users do you have on average simultaneously on your network and is it possible to test by temporarily disabling AMP?

If you use Chrome, open the developer tools with CTRL+SHIFT+I, go to the network tab, and load a page - what part of the process does it show as being slow?  DNS, TCP setup, TLS, something else?
