SR520 WAN-LAN Throughput

[Chet Prokop]

Can the SR520 actually sustain full WAN bandwidth to the LAN ports?

I have a client that's just pulled a Cogent fiber service guaranteed at 100mbps. He's wanting me to spec a small biz router that will ensure he gets "what he's paying for "--full 100 mbps at the LAN.

I had a Cisco online person say they've recommended this SR520 to others with 100mbps service, but I see no spec or even partner information or data that I can point to for W-L throughput numbers?

Any help would be appreciated!

BTW, if there's another small biz option that is still simple, we can suggest that, too.

Hi Chet,

Thanks for using the Small Business Support Community.

Although the SR520 has an Fast Ethernet WAN interface, it is unlikely to be able to forward internet traffic at 100Mbps.

Ultimately maximum forwarding rates will depend on the type of features you wish to use.

In terms of small business products, the SRP541 might offer the performance levels you require in this case.
