      @erasedhammer said in Iperf testing, same subnet, inconsistent speeds.:

      I have to research if dismantling bond0 to get two separate nics on Synology would break connectivity permanently

      Yeah, probably don't do that! 😉

        Deleting the bond0 has left one interface intact with the correct IP address. So I was able to use the secondary interface to test speeds directly.

        It seems pretty clear that pfsense is not the problem at all.

        Getting the same speeds directly with a laptop directly connected to the NAS.

        Iperf3 test shows network is not the problem.
