        @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.

                  UniFi AC-Lite access point

                  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.

                                            That doesn't make sense. Perhaps a screen capture of the Interface > WAN page would help.
