I've never needed to do this so may be misguiding you, but I'd just buy a openvpn router (not a modem) and connect it via ethernet to whatever modem your current ISP provides.I am looking for a modem for 1 Gbps fibre broadband connection, which supports OPEN VPN client setup and VOIP. The current ISP provided one that doesnt support Open VPN. I heard that the current Eir Gigabit fibre modem supports this setup. Can someone provide the make and model of eir modem so that I can buy it?
Required Specs:
Line Type: VDSL (Very high bit rate Digital Subscriber Line)
Connection mode: PPPoE
Open VPN compatible
VOIP compatible
I'd guess your personal router has a 100Mb ethernet port connecting it to the Fiber modem, you need one with 1Gb ethernet ports.My current setup is as below:
Fibre box -> ISP router
ISP Router -> My Personal router with Open VPN
All devices connect to my own personal router for getting dhcp ip address
But the speed I get now is substantially low! Only around 90 Mbps. While I connect directly to the ISP router I get 900 Mbps. So massive decrease in speed.
So if I have a router that supports both Open VPN client + VOIP for my land telephone, I could get rid of my own router and also the ISP router. Hope this makes sense.
My Eir Gigabit fibre router/modem is a SAGEMCOM Swan F5366s, installed a few months ago.
Unless you’re with Eir though I would not go this route, any time you ring your provider for support they’ll tell you the modem is the problem and you’ll need to put theirs back.
If you get 1Gb while plugged directly into your providers’ modem but less when you go through your router, then the issue is surely your router. It may have gigabit ports, but the processors in cheaper devices are often not capable of actually handling that kind of speed. Hence why the likes of Eir have to use much beefier modems now than they used to.
Have you tried a few different ethernet cables between modem and router? Older cables will be limited to 100Mb.No, My router has gigabit lan ports. So 1000 Mbps.
Any Cat5 or better cable should give up to 1Gbps if available. I'd be very surprised if cabling was a limiting factor unless it was very old ethernet cable...Have you tried a few different ethernet cables between modem and router? Older cables will be limited to 100Mb.
If you're getting 100Mb from your router there's something wrong there - I'd be slow to swap out the provided modem for the reason Zenith mentioned above.
Why do you think that that would downgrade the speed?It might be because of double NATing. Because the ISP router issue Ip to my personal router. and then all the devices in my home gets ip from my personal router.
If you wire two devices to your own router what speed do you get between them?Because when I directly connect my devices to the ISP router, I am getting 900Mbps. When it goes through my own router speed comes down drastically .
That's not quite the test that I asked about.When I connect to my own router I get about 90 Mbps. When I connect to ISP router directly I get 900 Mbps !

OK so the router should be technically capable of 1Gb/s.Fritz!box 7530 is the ISP router
ASUS RT-AX88U is my personal router
