      EDIT: all my hosts are at 1GBit (1000M) the whole time. My switches even say, that the Uplink to the router (pfsense) is 1000M. I forced it but still no change.

        @sysadminfromhell Well, have you checked the obvious?
        Cables/patch cords.
        There isn't much to tune in any case and intel cards and pfsense are considered perfect matches

          Hmm, was anything forced before? Forcing the link speed is usually the cause of these problems. Gigabit Ethernet requires autoselect

              @netblues yes i checked everything and even changed the cables of the hosts and the switch to the pfsense but the problem remains

                Errors shown on the interfaces?

                Throttling to 3Mbps almost has to be something at layer 1....

                    In Status > Interfaces is easiest.

                        @stephenw10 good morning, I changed the igb from 2 to 3 to check if the port is damaged/broken but the problem remains the same. I will do the following today:
                        As this subnet has the same as the ISP router gives the pesense gives igb0 (172.16.1.10/29) I will change this subnet from the ISP to something else like 10.0.1.0/29 or something like this and see if this problem remains. I do not know if this interfering in any way but let’s see, shall we?

                        Edit: I updated the subnet from the ISP router to: 10.0.1.252/30 so the igb0 now has the IP 10.0.1.254. I testet the performance and Download is now OK (300 MBit - 980MBit) but Upload remains the same problem: 3,14MBit/s.

                          Hmm, OK changing the WAN subnet should make absolutely no difference to traffic between internal subnets unless there were a conflict caused by dhcp.
                          So that suggests something is not configured as expected. Like those interfaces are somehow linked via some other path. Are they bridged? Are they even direct ports on that device?

                            @stephenw10 so haft day through, i found the problem.
                            It was a faulty NIC driver on windows maschine what made the Upload internal so slow.
                            I do not know why but i ended up reinstalling windows 11 and now everythings looks fine:
