      Hi everyone, I have a netgate 1541 with the 32GB ram, and 2x R1 ssd option, with the 2 port sfp+ expansion card.

      I have my 10GB mikrotik switch connected to port 0 of the expansion card via SFP+ twinax, and my fiber ONT connected via port 1 with SFP+ transceiver.

      The ONT does light up the 10GB connection light.

      My computer has a 10GB pcie network card, connected to the 10GB switch. (But it doesnt matter if I use the switch or direct to the firewall)

      Running a speed test, I get 400-500 download, and 3000 upload. My connection is symetrical at about 3200/3200 when testing my computer directly to the ONT.

      I have pfblockerNG and HAProxy configured but not really anything else. I'm at a loss as to why the performance is so poor.

      I'm currently on 26.03.1-RELEASE and I was on an older version as well. I just updated to see if that would help, it did not.
