Download speed varies by OS after setting up pfSense router with 2.4.5.
-
no not anything to do with pfsense - its windows thing, autotuning should be on by default with scaling - not sure why yours was disabled...
Had you run any sort of "tweaking" software or anything? I will have to do a bit of research - but I am pretty sure that is suppose to be on by default.
-
@johnpoz Huh, okay, I must have just uncovered that during all the testing and stuff. I really appreciate the help!
-
I know I just went over this somewhere in the last few weeks at most -- killing me that cant find where that was, might of been reddit or other forums I frequent ;)
Glad you got it sorted... You might want to turn on ECN as well.

Was this windows 10 an upgrade from say 7? Or clean install?
Either way, when you find that your not getting what you expect for full speed, could to check that is enabled.. Here is some info about scaling..
-
Clean install. The weird thing is that it is that way on multiple machines, but I suppose that might just be a fluke.
-
hmmm - yeah pretty sure its suppose to be default.. Odd - will have to do some research on why it would be off out of the box.
-
Thanks again and yeah I'd definitely be interested to know why they are that way.

What nic do you have, and were you wireless and then moved to wireless. What driver on the nics? Windows default one? Or manufactures?
-
What build of windows 10 are you running?
-
It was wired connection, and the Windows default drivers.
Windows Build: 18363.720

Lurking by this thread, how old is the PC? I remember some issues several years ago and turning off RSS at a few clients. A quick search yielded articles like:

https://support.docuware.com/en-us/knowledgebase/article/KBA-35306
https://serverfault.com/questions/726172/is-rss-receive-side-scaling-in-windows-considered-unstable
In other words could this be a legacy setting carried forward to Windows 10? -
@teamits It's only a couple of years old, so I don't expect that it's a legacy issue. I've installed Win10 a few times on it since then anyhow.
