Would Wireshark be any help in a situation like this? If so, what do I look for? I'm sure there must be a way to help narrow this down further.

I don't think it has to do with static DHCP leases anyway because client 2 did not have a static lease and still had the issue. For client 1, I tried removing the static DHCP lease and giving it a new IP. I tried rebooting pfsense, but that didn't help. It's almost as if pfsense is remembering the MAC or the specific NIC and not allowing it to go above a certain speed. When I connected it to the pfsense network, it got the full 120 Mbps! I tried using a second NIC port on this same PC, it then got full 120 Mbps download speeds on the same pfsense network with the exact same cable that was plugged into the original NIC port!Ĭlient 3 (Windows 7 64 bit) - This client is NOT native to the pfsense network. When connected to a completely different LAN with a different non-pfsense router (Same upstream ISP gateway), I get full 120 Mbps download speeds.Ĭlient 2 (Windows 7 64 bit) - This is a client native to the pfsense network and it has the issue on the pfsense network. Here are a few scenarios:Ĭlient 1 (Windows 10) - This is a client native to the pfsense network and it has the issue on the pfsense network. I have tried at least 5 or more different client PC's on the network and they all have the issue.

I even disabled some packages like nut just because I'm running out of ideas. I have disabled all packages mentioned above which I suspected could have caused issues. Windows shows a 1 Gig connection and I have tried several PC's. I know this sounds like an auto-negotiation or cabling issue, but I can assure you that's not the problem. I have been running speed tests recently and my upload is consistently fine. I have installed pfsense OS updates along the way, Snort, squid (with cache and AV), and pfblocker.

Since then, the network topology has not changed. Everything was fine, speeds tests were reporting full bandwidth in both down/up. I originally started with a simple setup, no packages installed. I've had pfsense running in the office for months. I have been working on this for days trying to isolate what the exactly problem is. I have the weirdest issue which is driving me crazy.
