        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

          When you showed 94 Mb, I had thought about a bad cable, as that can cause a connection at 100 Mb, instead of 1 Gb. However, I suspect you still have some hardware issues, as even plain CAT5 is good for 100 M at 1 Gb. Again, verify what the connection is supposed to be. Should it be autoconfig? Or do you have to set it to 1 Gb full duplex?

            @DaddyGo said in pppoe with no modem:

            He have already posted a picture of the WAN interface above

            He posted status info, not configuration. Those are 2 different pages.

              if i choose on interface>wan>pppoe connection - i am not able to choose media type because that option to choose media disappear after i choose pppoe and click apply setting

              if i use dhcp or static i can choose the speed under the media tab

                What version of pfSense are you running? When I select PPPoE, I still see the speed & duplex option. Current version is 2.4.5.

                    Please post screen captures of Interfaces > WAN, both before and after selecting PPPoE.

                      One other thing you can do is go to a command prompt and use the ifconfig command. It will show info about the interfaces, including media. Here is what mine shows for my WAN:

                      media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)

                        Yeah the WAN is PPPoE so you don't see the media reported, that's on the parent interface.

                        In Diag > Command Prompt execute ifconfig -vma show us the results.
