All connections are Cat6 and using Meraki go switches GS110-8P. The APs are powered via POE. i ended up getting rid off my GX50 and replaced it with a Firewalla gold which has been wonderful. The throughput on the GX50 is just not good enough and I didn’t find it stable (plus issues every week with software being “out of day”). strongly recommend the Firewalla if you want a true firewall with proper load balancing and more controls on rules and such. the rest of my system is Meraki go APs and switches and it works great.

I’m on version 16.17 but I think the previous version also allows it. You can’t change this via the web or the app, you will need to access the FW via a web browser and connecting to its private IP (ie: 192.168.xxx.1)

So i did some testing and i get 850M/650M connecting to the GX50 directly, so the issue look to be due to the APs. I have the latest wifi 6 so i would have expected better speed. I haven’t raised a ticket yet but was curious if anyone else is seeing similar behavior.

For anyone who would be interested by this.. I ended up getting a second (separate) internet connection (Fios and Optimum) and was able to have them both connected to my GX50. When you connect to your GX50 directly via IP address (192.168.x.1) you can select the port #2 to be an internet port as well. It doesn’t quite work as a load balancer but more as a backup connection. So if the internet on port 1 goes down, you will get connected to the internet on port #2. In order to go back on the internet on port #1, port #2 would either need to go down or be manually shut down. * FYI, both FIOS and Optimum routers are set up in bridge mode so the connection is handled by the GX50 directly.

Hi- I notice the upload speed to be low with my new GX50 compared to when I used google nest wifi. I have a fiber Fios 1G connection and was able to achieve 900 download and 700 upload. Now with my GX50 I get 650 download and 75 upload. I understand the download is less than before because the GX50 has a firewall but I would expect the upload to be closer to 500M. Any idea on how to improve the upload?

Hi- i saw there’s the possibility to configure the port 2 on the GX50 to be an internet port. Does this mean that I can plug in 2 different ISP connections (WAN) and the GX50 will do load balancing? i don’t see anything in the docs about it.
