The short version

Client > Draytek Vigor 2820n > SuperHub > Internetz:


The long version

When I connect the SuperHub to Draytek's WAN port, I cannot exceed ~10Mbps on download. Upload speed is brilliant though, exactly what it should be. I did these tests at least 20 times, different configurations, that's the best that I can get out of both setups.

I went through every single setting on the SuperHub, no difference. I've even set the uplink to 100Mbps full-duplex explicitly on Draytek's WAN port, same result.

Is it the crappy DHCP router on the SuperHub? Anyone running a similar setup, Client > Router > SuperHub > Internetz? Any DrayTek guys out there?

Virgin Tech support is absolutely hopeless, I can't believe I wasted another 10 minutes with them on the phone, no real troubleshooting skills, just "computer says no" sort of people.
set the wan port to auto negotiate. The manual setting may have caused issues. Especially if the superhub is still set to auto which it will be as it cannot be overriden. After that set mtu manually to 1500 on both routers.
