PfSense throtteling WAN bandwidth?
-
I got 10mb using the file from cachefly on my LAN from the pfSense box:
[2.1.5-RELEASE][root@pfsense]/root(7): fetch -o /dev/null http://172.16.77.50/10mb.test /dev/null 100% of 10 MB 10 MBps(That would be over the much maligned USB NIC)
I also got 10 MB on my laptop plugged into Brighthouse modem.
It HAS to be the WAN port (which worked fine on 2.1.4) or something in pfSense doesn't like something about the new Brighthouse modem. But I get the same result in any modem RJ45 port, and any other device connected to the modem gets over 30 MB on speed tests.
Any other ideas? Or should I just wipe and re-install from ISO?

Well - 10Mb/s is better than NoMb/s I guess.
And if you connect your laptop directly to the modem, problem disappears?
Even if you get this working, You will be ok with the loss of 20Mb/s?
Just a thought - Switch the LAN and WAN interfaces and see what happens.

That's MB/s so for a NIC that's negotiated to 100Mbps it's not that bad. ;)
My money is on some basic problem between the NIC and the new modem. Some times two devices don't quite comply with the specs correctly and won't work. These things happen. ::)
Simple test. Put a switch in between the modem and the USB NIC on the pfSense box. If it's a layer 1 problem that may prove it.Steve

Sorry - Mixed my apples and oranges.
Did he try switching LAN and WAN?
