Comment on Now I have 1 GBit fiber and can't benefit :-(

Ok, starting to think I need a new little device for my pfSense. I was thinking of going OpenSense and buying one of their devices to support the project.

Regarding my switch, the ports where my Rukus APs are connected are showing 1000M on the interface. But I think a step by step testing is what is needed as suggested above.

Run iperf internally to see if your bottleneck is switch/ap or fw. I set up a j1900 pfsense for my sisters family a while back to do qos (gamer bois in the house) amd it had no problem staying at 500mbps. No ids or other stuff.

Not built any opn/pf-sense in a while, but i always use intel server-nic’s. Used to have way better support than other stuff on bsd

They are expensive but I run a OPNsense DEC740 and have no issues with my Gigabit fiber, even without modem and the PPPoE overhead.

You can still try playing with hardware offload on/off and if you use PPPoE, it runs on a single core by default.

  Very nice but looks expensive. Do you think I could upload the pfSense configuration to it? I dread the pain of having to configure the whole thing from scratch.

    I don’t think you can import pfSense configurations into OPNsense. I switched from a DIY pfSense box as well and redid the config.
    
    You can look for a converter or install pfSense onto it though.
