Hi,
the throughput of my clients connected to my cnPilot E400 (cnP) is comparably low in the 10Mbit/s range (see iperf3 test results below). I don't know if the problem is on the wireless side of things or if for some reason there is a problem in the wired connection between the cnP and the rest of the network.
The cnP is connected with a CAT6 cable to a Netgear GS110TP PoE smart switch (switch) that provides both network and PoE to the cnP.
Is anything wrong or not recommended with this setup? I could also use the cnP's PoE injector, but I'd rather us the switch's PoE for a few reasons.
Both, the switch and the cnP show the link speed to be 1000Mbp/s. My internet provider's router shows the connection to the cnP as 10Mbit/s, though I am not sure how it determines that as it's not directly connected and I don't pay too much attention to that. It shows the same for a Raspberry Pi while I could confirm the Pi has 100Mbit/s in accordance with the Pi's specs.
I test all connections between computers on my network using iperf3. Is there anything comparable I could use to test the connection of the router's LAN connection?
Thanks,
Klaus
P.S.: Here is the perf3 output between a wire connected server and my client:

iperf Done.
When connecting my client to the switch I get pretty reasonable 950Mbit/s.
