I recently did the firmware upgrade from 5.6 to 6.0 and I'm seeing much poorer performance than before the upgrade. We've got a 25Mbps symmetrical feed over fiber and my total throughput has dropped to 10Mbps. When I bypass the FortiGate and connect directly to the fiber modem I get full speed with any of the speed tests. I don't remember making any changes other than the update and we've rebooted a couple of times. Does anyone have ideas on what's going wrong?

When you refer to a speedtest with 6.0.2 with the firewall in the circuit, are you using a browser speedtest using someone speedtest.net or are you referring to the Bandwidth window on the FortiGste GUI?

I've tried both. When going through the router just now speedtest.net gave: Ping ms 83 Download Mbps 7.21 Upload Mbps 9.43, note that there are other users getting a portion of the bandwidth, so this is expected to be lower than the 25/25 we get without the router. At the same time the bandwidth window is displaying a flat line near 10Mbps.

When testing directly connected to the fiber modem last week we saw the full 25/25 using speedtest.net. I hesitate to do that test very often since it takes the whole company down...
