    Hi,

    Some help if anyone can, trying to replace our Vodafone HG659 with a Draytek V130 modem.

    I've set the username\password ok and changed the Vlan to 10 on the Draytek.

    However when i try to use the Draytek im getting a fraction of the speeds i was getting whilst using the Vodafone Router. Any suggestions?

    Which fraction?
    Are you comparing speeds plugging the same device directly into the routers?
    After doing that, double check your wireless settings and make sure they are as close as possible to each other. There are a lot of options available which will make a difference.

    Sorry, to be more clear, im passing PPPoE details through from my firewall to the Draytek.

    My Laptop plugged into LAN is getting approx. 40mb down 15up on speedtest while using Vodafone router, when draytek unit is in, laptop getting approx. 5 down 2 up.

    What speed is your Vodafone package supposed to be?

    Aren't Draytek routers known for being slow? iirc when I researched a similar issue I found an article (I'll try and find again) that said something about NAT having a speed restriction of about 50Mbps but can't remember the router model.

    Might be worth looking at the firmware version on the Draytek too.
    https://www.draytek.co.uk/support/downloads/vigor-130

    It should be 3.8.4 ideally, but it's interesting that there are two versions of that with different modem firmwares.
    Might get a different result with the other one. While you're in there make sure there are no load balancing options turned on.

    Any chance you can bypass the Fortigate with a PPPoE client on the laptop itself just for testing?
    Does the Draytek list that it has connected at the same sync speed as the original modem?
