Bandwidth Throughput Issues Same hardware Pfsense=198 meg Untangle = 798meg
-
Hey Guys,
So I am looking to switch over from Untangle to Pfsense and am having some issues with bandwidth throughput. So I have the same hardware, 3ghz i3 w/ 12 GB ram and 128 GB SSD, dual Intel nic plus the nic built into the mother board. Being that I can get 798 megs when I have untangle installed on the same hardware I am thinking it must be a configuration issue with PFsense that is limiting my bandwidth. Does anyone have any recommendations on settings to check? I have a full 1gig up & down connection that I would like to take full advantage of.Thanks for the help!

Fresh out of the box PFSense or did you make a bunch of changes like installing packages?

Harvy66,
Thanks for the response, the install is fresh out of the box. The only configuration I did was create a tagged vlan interface as all WAN traffic needs to have the tag 201 attached to it per my ISP.

Under Diagnostics, System Activity, what does it look like? Any high CPU usage?
On the index page, what does your CPU frequency claim to be?

Cpu utilization is at 6%, I also just noticed I do not have a PCI express nic card in there. I just ordered one so will see if that makes a difference.
