      That level of throttling I'd look for a speed/duplex mismatch. Check Status > Interfaces for errors/collisions.

      You have no modem? What is your WAN connected to?

          @stephenw10 cant find where to define connection speed

          under the wan interface statuse there is no "media" type, unlike the "lan" interface

                if you are connected to the interface, you should see some negotiation - the media type

                you mentioned above that a 20mbits connection has already been established

                  Accidentally, you are not trying to connect directly to the ONT, this is not allowed by many ISPs directly only through their own router with a bridge-mode enabled on a port.

                    @DaddyGo That could be either auto or some specified connection, such as 1000baseT, depending on what the ISP requires. I've seen both.

                    BTW, on pfSense 2.4.5, it says Speed and Duplex, not Media.

                    I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

                          what is your exact system? FTTH / DOCSIS / VDSL :-)
                          I expect something like this from you: ISP ONT or modem + ISP router + etc.

                            A blank WAN tab means it doesn't work for you

                                  fiber to rj45 adapter = ISP ONT???
                                  Do you have a router supplied by your ISP?

                                    Look on Interfaces > WAN, not status.

                                          Those can be either fixed 1000baseT (or 100 Mb on older gear) or auto. Your ISP should tell you.
