      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

      Cats bury it so they can't see it!

        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.

                                    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?

                                          That indicates a 100 Mb connection. If that's all you're getting, then perhaps you should be talking to your ISP. In the mean time, that screen capture I asked for would help.

                                            It is even conceivable that you do not see media type but no IP addresses with MAC data ....... it's weird
                                            No other internet source 4G dongle or WiFi, other eth. connection is connected to your computer?
