SG-1100 latency and speed issues after upgrade to 22.01
-
Hello
Earlier today I upgraded my netgate SG-1100 from 21.01 to 22.01 and suffer from strange behaviour. I get only half the speed I used to get before the update and in the monitoring I see strange spikes in delays as you can see in the below graph (around 14h13 I did the update):
The speed is terrible, it hovered around 250Mb/s before the upgrade now I can only reach 170Mb/s (down). On WiFi when I test on Ookla I only get 1 or 2 Mb/s. I have less than 10 rules in the firewall, I use pfBlockerNG and WireGuard packages.
What are my options to get this fixed?Regards

It could be a problem on the ISP side, check it?
An ingress problem with my own cable internet service looks like this.
Check Diagnostics -> System Activity
If you see both CPU cores are idle, try restarting the modem.
Check the system logs, anything unusual here?
The problem persists, call your ISP. -
With latency spikes like that you are probably hitting this: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12827
There is a workaround patch for that in the recommended patches list in the System Patches package now. Try that.

After several factory resets and restores of my configuration, I found the culprit.
I had traffic shapers (limiters) in place to work around some moderate bufferbloat. Removing those from the floating rule on the WAN resolved the issue.There seems to be a problem with limiters in this release.
Thank you for everybody who replied.Regards

Are you using the captive portal also?
There is a known issue with running both: [https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12954](link url)Steve
