      pfSense is load balancing two ISP connections, Frontier @ 500/500 & Spectrum 350/25. I have Frontier as primary and Spectrum as backup. pfSense seems to be limiting my speeds to about 90/90. Does anyone have any ideas where the hang up could be? If I disable Frontier interface the speeds jump to what they should be on the spectrum interface. I have see when the Frontier interface comes back online I get my 500/500 back for a time but then it drops back to the 90/90ish again.

      Thanks everyone.

          Are you referring to the Gateway Groups?

              @noplan I have found the issue but now the question is how to fix it. It seems that the ONT and the port on my Dell keep dropping to 100mbps as seen here. portspeed.png

              It starts out fine but at some point in the last few hours it has dropped from 1000 to 100.

                a wild guess ? a) cabeling b) interface itself c) settings

                aa2eca25-fc71-4a23-ae63-1b186bd2f3ad-grafik.png

                1.000 over a 100 interface ?

                check interface assigment what speed

                  @ducati0927 What turned out to be the problem? I have the same thing going on with a Spectrum modem right now.
