      Thanks for reading.
      I'm not a network guru but love the idea of PFsense and enjoy what it can do.

      Question: my data is WAY wacked. I'm having tons of issues with streaming services pausing, speed all over the place, etc.
      My CPU(s) appear to be mostly idle.  I've tested both LAN and WAN: no real difference.

      Hardware:
      Stealth LPC-450G3 Core Duo Small Form Factor PC Multi Gigabit LAN. 60gb SSD
      WAP:  1142 Cisco, Autonomous mode. Left-over from work (my gain)
      2x 100mbps switches.  IK I need a gigabit but for now…

      This tells me that the CPUs are mostly idle.

      How do I generate an output file from the GUI to share with you guys to look at? Is there anything else i should try/examine?

      thanks for any help.
