so yes cheap lol

I will be looking for other hardware is there any suggestions?

  this is all I know about the machine

nics are onboard

as for changes made don't remember all changes because it was done in spare time and over a week..   just remember turning stuff off.   speeds were initially around 270Mbps before messing with it now up around 600Mbps. I do know that there will be some kind of hit when you put something like this in place.   one other thing is weather I run direct or with opnsense the ping is around 4 to 10 ms.   the main system connected is a ryzen 9 3900 12 core cpu with 32 GB ram and 2 1tb m2 ssd in raid 0   with rtx 2060 graphics card x570 chipset on MB that is Pcie 4 ready.

I know that the machine I have running this is cheap and might be the cause or partial cause of the problem.   I think A reinstall of opnsense is in order so I can track changes made.

I would love to have some suggestions if you feel inclined to give them :D and I thank you for the response

my connection is running approx 950 Mbps up and down when connected directly.  my connection is Wireless to the house with a pair of MikroTik 60ghz dishes bridged point to point backed by 5Gbps Fiber connection. I have a public IP also.  Machine specs: CPU     Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N3450 @ 1.10GHz (4 cores), 6 GB ram, 128GB ssd, 2 1gb NIC, OPNsense 21.1.5.

when connected through opnsense speeds drop to around 600Mbps dn and 150Mbps up.  how should I fix this?  any help would be welcome.   thank you all in advance.
