yes the 2nd nic has dhcp enabled, they both are set in the router to have a preferential IP since using static isn’t an option. It is basically the same difference here.

I haven’t tracert back to it, but the transfer time dropped from 7min to just under 5 sec.

Edit: tracert for original setup, let me go check new setup:

Tracing route to 10.50.16.10 over a maximum of 30 hops

1 \<1 ms \<1 ms \<1 ms 10.50.16.10

Trace complete.
