New switch in. No effect.

I did however launch OpenWRT and IPFIRE (both linux-based) and my connection STILL doesn't exceed 670mpbs.

Maybe Comcast is limiting the connection for some odd reason, or maybe it is because I am doing it in a VM and/or some BIOS setting on the hypervisor.

No VLANs (yet).

I have a Cisco Small Business gigabit switch. I've ordered a new switch. I was getting gigabit speeds with my TPLINK DeCo router. Actually, I was able to pull 1,400mbps as Comcast boosted their gigabit speeds.

I don't have IPS on. It looks like I do have reports running. I am trying to find out how to shut those off.

I have dedicated a dual intel NIC to OpnSense:

OpnSense (vmbr1)vtnet0 = WAN (vmbr2)vtnet1 = LAN

and then my VMs are using a separate Linux (vmbr0)bridge to another physical nic.

I have selected QEMU guest agent and run this in the OPNsense guest through plugins

In Proxmox, I created an actual VM for it, not a LXC container. Is that what you did?

I picked up a dual NIC locally. Thank you for sharing your setup and experience. It is nice knowing it is possible, I really want to stick with OpnSense but if I can't get my full speeds, I'm going to have to find another solution.

The NIC I am using:
10Gtek
82576-GE-2T-X1
Intel 82576
PCIe x1

I am using the python3 speedtest cli script.

Hi Everyone.

I am new to OpnSense and I was wondering if it is possible to achieve gigabit downloads with Comcast (DOCSIS 3.1 modem) with OpnSense?

Comcast > My Own Modem (DOCSIS 3.1) > Proxmox VM

 i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz
NVME
64GB of RAM, 8 dedicated to OpnSense VM.

Testing from Comcast Cable (xx.xxx.xx.xx)...

I've read a lot on the internet but I can't seem to get my speeds above 620 Mbit/s. Has anyone had any luck with similar setups?
