  • Okay, I've received no luck anywhere, but I did stumble upon a subscribed AV from Watchguard (that I wasn't aware I had). Turned it off, speeds skyrocketed to gigabit speeds (from 355 KB/ps to 100MB/ps). After about 5 minutes of glorious speeds and believing a fix to have been found... speeds went back to normal. I can't…
  • Bruce, I'm in the 90% convinced category that it's a server issue as well. The only thing preventing the other 10% is that it works through the same network when I remove the firewall and use a normal VPN. All I know is that there's a setting somewhere and I haven't been trained on this part of IT, just thrown in the deep…
  • Every type of file. Revit files trying to load within the software, 3 GB ISO files that are zipped, smaller 3MB photos, as well as a 2GB folder with small and large files contained. In every instance where I'm able to send the package from the remote office to the server, the upload speed is reliably quick (Normally 15MB…
  • I read that, yes. We're at a 50ms latency on average - that's not where I want to be, but is that included in the "higher latency links" you mention? I'm seeing no SMBv1 getting in the way either. Why, though, would this cause slow downloads but not prevent the uploads from slowing? (I think that's my real stumper, because…
  • Well, I went out to the remote site, verified that the hardware was setup correctly and then bypassed the firewall. The results were immediately apparent that my cable company is provided a solid internet connection, and by using my VPN IKEv2 I was able to connect to my network drives, and had incredible speeds (Revit…
  • Ah, ok. I believe I misunderstood Bruce's last question. SMB2 is what i have set up. I'll look at the above KBA and see where I can go from there. Thanks!
  • Just a network share. I can move it from a machine remotely to the network drive with great success, but trying to move it back from the network drive to the machine caps the transfer rate below 1MB.
  • Also, regarding TCP Window sizes, i've noticed there that my transmittal rate is extremely low using these formulas. But I'm still able to upload from the external office to the server at nearly 100 MB (800Mb). Why does it come to the server so well, but not similar when leaving the server?
  • I'm sorry. That means I adjusted the MTU settings as you suggested and then let them run for a day or so. Thanks for the follow-up again! :) I'm looking into TCP Window Size as well as Bandwidth Delay Product to see what else I can learn from this. I'm afraid starting a support incident will get me only to "your device is…
  • Okay, I've tested the MTU and received no difference in download speeds. I have adjusted every setting I can think of, and again, I receive Full connection speeds from the office to our server but not from the server to the office. (They can upload at gigabit speeds but not download - while accessing our network drives).…
  • Switching DF doesn't appear to have made any significant changes. When you say server in your last reply, are you meaning the server itself or server side firewall?
  • When the firewall was upgraded from a T10 to the M370, was the T10 config moved to the M370 or was a new config created from scratch? Created from scratch, but similar settings. Any specific type of transfer or access is slow over the gigabit link? Everything within the network is slow coming from my server to the problem…
