      Have 2 Fibre services to the home.

      1 is only 50 Mbps the other is 1Gbps ( typical 800Mbps) with ASUS GT-AC5300

      Pfsense running on an old desktop with dual 1Gb NIC.

      Connected pfsense to 50Mbps service.

      Pfsense shows ports operating at 1000Mbps - ok.

      Speeds as listed at 50Mbps - ok.

      Swapped connection to my typical 800Mbps service with same machine. Same ASUS router now in wireless access point mode. Pfsense reporting desktop NIC as 100MBps.

      Download limited to 100Mbps.

      What’s going on?
