Trouble with WAN not being able to get correct speed
-
Regarding this
@stephenw10 said in Trouble with WAN not being able to get correct speed:
In dot1q VLAN mode you would only need one link to pfSense from the switch. You would use VLANs to separate the WAN and LAN traffic in pfSense and send all of that over the one 10G to the switch.
Essentially do the splitting in PFsense and having 1 free port from the 10G if im correct. The ONT would become also a LAN in PFsense but it would seperate it if understand that correctly from the pfSense side not the switch side and then take lets say port 10 out of the WAN side in the switch leavcing port 9 to do both WAN and LAN i think.
BTW i order an intel 225i card but i am determined to make this rtl work eventually just for my knowledge point of view

Do you see the module present in /boot/modules?
-
i do not. I guess perhaps it is not saving it ?however, when i got into pfsense web interface and check under there i can see it

I agree you can "save a port" but you still can't get around the physical connections and limit of two 10G switch ports...
You have one cable from ONT, and it will only negotiate correctly in ports 9 or 10 on the switch. And even when putting both LAN and WAN on port 10, you still can't get more than 1G on the network on the LAN side, since all other ports are 1G...[EDIT] Is there some strange formatting going on in this and the previous post that I made? I can't see the text that should read:

@kilasin Excellent so now you can revert your VLAN settings and use the switch as you did before, and still get 2.5 G internet, congrats!

You mean in Diag > Edit?
I expect to see something like:
[24.03-DEVELOPMENT][admin@apu.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /boot/modules/ total 1268 112 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 111576 Dec 15 07:02 bwi_v3_ucode.ko 1152 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1134992 Jan 14 20:41 if_re.ko 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 116 Feb 1 19:37 linker.hints -
I basically started from scratch .. reinstalled the package but this time i got the 198 package instead of the 197 ... then when i want to edit the conf file everything was already there except i put a space before the forward slash here{ if_re_name=" /boot/modules/if_re.ko" } then rebooted the whole thing and did the kldstat and it worked i saw it then went into the webgui and lord and behold it popped up then just redid my assignments and now everything is working lovely lol lol WOOT WOOT!!!! I seriously could not have done this without both of you @stephenw10 and @Gblenn
