          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...

                i have no limit to use the modem of the isp

                i have anothe router that connects and get speed of about 500mb

                in pf sense there is no media/speed tab

                in lan i do get media type of 1000 base t

                    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.

                                            Restart the WAN interface, then what do you see in the logs?
