Why do you expect your bridge bandwidth to be fully used?

How many clients are using your bridge?
Please paste a heartbeat log line into your reply.

How are you measuring the speed?

What have you tried to do to change the speed? What happened?

There is one bridge authority. It does not measure bandwidth.

Please remove IP addresses and ports, then paste your torrc into https://paste.debian.net .

Many ISPs have limits. Many of them don't tell you about them.

Many home routers have limits. Many of them don't tell you about them.

I can't find the number of supported connections in Netgear's documentation:
