      @jacquesh "sorry for my late responce, ik had to pick a moment i could disconnect internet for a moment :)"

      I understand, the family can be dangerous.....๐Ÿ˜‰

      • if you can wait a while, I'm looking for an old APU4d4 tomorrow and I will send the exact NIC tuning settings

      I think this will help

      BTW:
      @jacquesh "the cisco is an: Cisco ASR920"

      do you really have a Cisco unit like this?
      (this is not a typical ISP CPE device)

          seems a bit high for pppoe. pppoe overgaed is more then 8 bytes, counting down from the default 1500.

          Probably not related :

          ec4d0c51-1610-4bce-85c9-cd3e497270e9-image.png

          127.0.0.1 is ok.
          The rest is not needed or even not advisable before full DNS knowledge is acquired.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

            In response to @Gertjan's suggestion, for safety, check the correct MTU using the following method.
            (I note: 1492 is usually (good) enough for PPPoE.)
            For example: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/190/

            BTW:
            Correct your DNS settings (currently pointing to localhost)
            it is very likely that your trivially low UP speed is not caused by these,
            but do your best, before we state this.

            find the best DNS server(s) for your location, use this:
            https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

            or

            use the Unbound with the 13 root servers
            https://www.iana.org/domains/root/servers

            (before setting up your DNS system
            find out on the internet, which DNS solution you would choose for privacy, etc.)

            I know that, wasn't your original problem this, but in the meantime, these also came up.๐Ÿ˜‰

              just tested the correct mtu size. 1464 is the last good reply, add 28. so it should be 1492.

              we are using an external dns filter. that is the reason it is configured this way.

                I thought...๐Ÿ˜‰

                please give me some time and I will start the APU4d4 which I found in the warehouse
                and I will send tweaks

                maybe that will solve the issue

                    just added this to loader.conf of shoeld it really be loader.conf.local? (i have to create it then?) and rebooted.

                    i added the rules from the screenshot. im on bios 4.0.7. i go and try to update this later. (hope tomorrow)

                    disabled hardware offloading.

                    for now upload is still the same.

                      *not loader.conf as it will be overwritten during OS update
                      you have to create it (just SSH into the box (WinSCP, Putty, etc.)
                      /boot/loader.conf.local

                      82541397-d472-4a08-ad04-8323b8fa1cf9-image.png

                      and REBOOT*

                      the BIOS is very important, this is a very outdated BIOS this can also be a problem
                      (the upgrade is not easy due to the known USB problem of APU MOBOs but if I fail I will help)

                      important: halt the system wait until 60 sec or more, disconnect PSU wait...wait.. and start

                      *turn them all off: (TSO, LRO is not good for you, if you are a router, if you are an endpoint can help)

                      6bdfa074-6a43-4124-8bdd-f107c23c2936-image.png

                      REBOOT again!*
                      (This will take effect after a machine reboot or re-configure of each interface.)

                      +++edit:
                      don't forget System Tunable either
                      it is important to turn off flow control and EEE

                      "tryforward IPv4 and v6" can also be important, do it

                            just saw my /boot/loader.conf.local is gone.
