        Where are you seeing that? What does it show? What do you expect it to show?

        Does the WAN interface fail to link? Fail to pass traffic?

          @stephenw10 I am expecting it to show speed and duplex option like under LAN interface so i could change it to 2500Base-T.
          WAN interface is linking and passing traffic .

            Where are you seeing that? The output of ifconfig?

            What NIC type is that? How is it connected?

                Ah so in Status > Interfaces?

                Not show the link speed/duplex is quite common for N-base speeds. Is i actually linked at 2.5G? What do the linl LEDs at either end show?

                What pfSense version are you running? What firmware version is on the NIC?

                As far as I know the X550-T is one of the few NICs that has been shown to link at 2.5/5G so I'd expect it to work.
