Achieving optimal upload, and download speed from your TELUS connection
After much research into this matter, I would like to offer my 2 cents worth on achieving the optimal Up/Dl speeds with the various currently offered packages, and hardware from TELUS. The mai...
Playing around with my brand new trash can in bridge mode. I have the LAN/WAN port plugged into my 10 Gbps switch, and even though I can connect another computer to it via a wired ethernet at 2.5 Gbps, it will only pass 1 Gbps through the ethernet port. I tested this by running open speed test locally on my Synology NAS with 10 Gbps networking.
If this device isn't capable of moving more than 1 Gbps through an ethernet port, then its no better than my T3200. Is there a device from Telus that will let more the full 1.5 Gbps pass through its ethernet port?

Community Power UserThe little white trash can gateway has 4 gigabit LAN ports. The NH20A/FXA5000 is the only one with a single 10gbps LAN port on it.
Telus tech came the next day, yesterday, and replaced the ONT and T3200 with an NH20A. Instead of using it in bridge mode, as originally intended, I'm using it for DHCP and routing as my existing gear can only handle 1 Gbps. I've got DNS running via pi-hole on my 10Gbps Synology in a container. Thanks for being a valuable resource for this community.
