      I have built a network by installing two pfsense devices.
      I've been using 2.4.4 for several years without any problems.
      Both pfsense recently updated to 2.6.0.
      I was able to access the internet through 2 devices and was able to manage pfsense 1.
      However, I cannot connect to pfsense 2 through pfsense 1.

      Unable to connect to pfsense 2 if the speed is too slow or too high.

        So I guess, there is a different subnet between pfSense 1 and 2 than behind 1.

        And if so, I assume, you have set pf2 as default gateway on 1?
        Is pf1 connected to pf2 LAN?

        So tell us your subnets, please, and post the routing table of 1.

            There should be no problem with that, I do that sort of setup all the time.

            What do you mean by 'speed is too slow or too high' ?

              so sorry, it's corrected.

              I still haven't been able to solve that problem.
              We look forward to your quick resolution.

                The connection appearing very slow like that can be some sort of asymmetric routing problem.

                Does the client you're connecting from have any other way of reaching pfSense 2? Like a wifi connection maybe?
