now shows the Speed and Duplex for this card. (it didnt for the other one.). It was set to auto which wasn't working. Setting it to 1000baseT Full made it magically work.
I would guess if the driver doesn't support speed changes it doesn't show. I poked around and on an SG-3100 the LAN doesn't have a speed dropdown...it's a switch so that is meaningless there (the WAN does).
If the port was supposed to autodetect at 1000/full and changing it to 1000/full improved things, I would be looking at the connection...is the patch cable cat 6, etc. IOW that implies autodetect sets to something the hardware can't handle. Autodetect will detect the fastest speed and if the cable is insufficient there will be lots of errors.
Well its weird because it DOES autodetect speed. But internet no work. When I hard set it to what it auto detects it as. It works.
There's nothing in between pfSense and the modem to troubleshoot. It's literally a 6 foot cat7 cable between the two. I tried two cables. Same results. I'm using the same cables for all my wired stuff and everything LAN wise is good.
If I hook up direct PC to modem I get 900+ download speed. pfSense, still around 500. No packet loss or anything. It's like a hard limit somewhere. I'll check the bios, maybe there's an update that might help... I donno.
I'll grab a $35 intel pcie nic off amazon and see if that helps i guess.
