      @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.

            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?

                      @avnpf said in pppoe with no modem:

                      this is wan tab in inteface status

                      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?

                                            so the problem was a long cable between the ONT and the PF (20 m)
                                            because when i connected it to a meter cable i got 1000 mb line

                                            still now i get speed of 300mb but that is identical to the isp router and an asus a68 router

                                            thank you
