Limited Bandwidth Speed from my OPT1 (Dual WAN Set-Up)

necronen

I have a dedicated pfSense Box with these following specs:

AMD Sempron 3000+ (1.6Ghz)
4 Gigabyte of RAM
80 GB Hard Drive
1 Onboard NIC - LAN(nfe0)
2 D-Link PCI NICs - WAN(vr0) & OPT1(vr1)
2 ISP having the same speed of 2mbps.

I don't have any problems with regards to my WAN bandwidth speed.
However, I'm wondering why I only get a max download speed bandwidth of 200kbps (0.2mbps) from my OPT1 (2mbps)?
I've tried switching interfaces but still I got the same result (on the same ISP). But whenever I plugged my computer directly to the router, I am getting the real bandwidth.

Any thoughts about this? Btw, I don't have any packages installed nor any modifications. Just firewall rules under LAN interface to route some ports to WAN and OPT1. TIA!

The 2mbps you mentioned is it [Mbps or MBps]!? both are different!

Mbps = Megabits Per second
MBps = Megabyte Per second

2Mbps = 250 KBps
2MBps = 2048 KBps

AFAIK you're getting the right speed! :)

Ops! Sorry for the confusion.
I was dealing too much of that KBps/Kbps & MBps/Mbps :o

I am referring to 2 MBps and I am only getting 200 KBps (2 Mbps / 20 KBps) download speed.
And now, I found out that there's a notification coming from my box saying the NIC MAC Address was altered for some reasons.
Is it a hardware problem?
