I've tried resetting and changing the 'Speed and Duplex' settings on both the WAN and LAN, but this does not change anything. With pfSense in place, I'm throttled to 140mb/10mb. That said, my speeds have never changed even running a speed test directly on the router using speedtest-cli.Īs noted, if I remove the router and go straight from the PC to the cable modem, I get the speeds provided / advertised by Xfinity.

They have since upgraded me several times and most recently to the 600mb down and 20mb up. When I first moved into my house, that was my Internet speeds provided by Xfinity, my speed was 150mb down and 10mb up. When I connect the router, it is throttled to 140mb down and 10mb up. If I remove the router and connect it directly to a PC, I get 600mb down and approximately 24mb up. I have pfSense running on a Protectli Vault 6 Port, Firewall Micro Appliance/Mini PC and I'm running the latest stable release (2.6.0-RELEASE (amd64))Īnyway, for whatever reason, my pfsense router is throttling my Internet connection.
