      Today I reinstalled pfsense, because of squid wasn't uninstalled correctly.
      I hade no configuration done at all, so a reinstall seemed the fastest way to go.

      So, reinstalled with exactly the same configuration.
      pfsense says 1000Mbit on WAN and 1000Mbit on LAN, but I can only measure 100Mbit.
      Without the pfsense-router it goes up to 200 where it's supose to be.

      Any ideas?

        Reinstalled again, reset BIOS but still only 100Mbit.
        The NIC is a DualPort Intel Pro 1000Mbit.

        The card works fine.
        Tested both ports in my dekstop = 200mbit
        Tested other cables and so on.

        Only thing left is checking the other hardware, but I don't see why it should have anything to do with this.

        Router hardware:
        Asus P5N-D
        E8600
        4Gb DDR2
        Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter

          Run 'top -SH' at the console while testing your download speed.
          Are you running out of CPU for some reason? You shouldn't be with that machine.
          Do you have a duplex mismatch between the WAN interface and whatever it's connected to?
          Bad cable? Is it exactly 100Mbps? Seems suspicious.  :-\

            It is strange.
            It worked before, same configuration, nothing has changed so why this is happening I don't know.
            Have to check the machine later this evening.

                Aww..

                The NIC port 2 only gives 100Mbit. :(
                Why this now, the speed is 1000Mbit, says both the PC and the modem.

                  Both ends set to auto detect speed and duplex?
                  Your ISP decided to limit you?  ;)

                  So all you did was reinstall, with the same version?

                    Yes.
                    Tried the card in my desktop.

                    Port 1: 1000Mbit connection, 200Mbit measured
                    Port 2: 1000Mbit connection, 100Mbit measured

                    So the card is smoked, how it can indicate 1Gbit and deliver 100Mbit I don't know, probably firmware problems or a faulty circuit.
                    Checked the physical port, but no problems visible.

                      Huh, that is not something I would have thought of.
                      Weird.  ::)
