        after running in circles a bit more, I called the ISP, and apparently they use some MAC address filtering. Got that resolved and it's working again. Now I just need to figure out why the speed isn't what it should be.

          What speed are you seeing? What do you expect? How are you testing?

            I'm supposed to have 150mb/s symetrical, but currently I'm getting 10 down and 80 up. I'm suspecting a driver issue for the NIC, but I haven't had time to dig into any logs yet. basic testing is with speedtest.net to the ISPs install, and to a server in another city.

            All services and connections are working now, so it's probably something simple that I missed.

              First check the Status > Interfaces page and make sure the NICs are linked at 1G full duplex. Seeing speeds like that could be because it's falling back to 100M half somewhere.

                @stephenw10 Good call. I may have to upgrade my NICs to get the most out of all of this. I'm not sure they are up to snuff.
