      So i have recently installed Pfsense on a x550e and everything works great. This past week i got my bandwidth upgraded to 1gb down 50mbit up. When im connected to the watchguard i get speed tests around 120mbit but when i disconnect the watchguard and hook up via a regular router i get 800-900mbit. I cant seem to figure out why this would be as the x550e has gbit ports.

      Has anyone encountered this or am i missing something somewhere.

        Performance
        Firewall Throughput 390 Mbps

        Other note. 50Mb up barely enough for the ACKs, and possibly not enough, depending on your OS. Don't try to upload anything while downloading at fully speed.

          Ah ok thats for the reply. Kinda sucks but i guess ill just use the watchguard as a training tool with pfsense until i actually build a pfsense computer.
