I'm noticing the same issue. I'm currently running os-speedtest-community 0.9_6 on OPNsense 25.7.3_7. I have a 1Gbps fiber connection and use the plugin manually to test the speed from time to time. In May 25 when I did the last test it reported about 933Mbps down. These last couple of days the results were about 637Mbps down. Performing the speedtest to the same servers on my Laptops browser which is 2 switches away from Opnsense I receive about 930Mbps down.

Have you tried the reset button located between the serial port and the power on light? You could use a paper clip or a sim card removal tool to press it while powered on.

Hi,

I recently moved into a new place and now have an active fiber connection (FTTH AON), no passive GPON, with a small local ISP.
Before I had a DSL connection with a modem in Bridge mode and Opnsense handling PPPoE and Vlan tagging.
Along with the Fiber connection my ISP provided me with a media converter and an SFP Module.

Media Converter: TP-Link MC220L
SFP Module: [FIBER – LR BiDi] SFP-GE-BX 1000BASE SFP 1310/1550 20Km (FS)
Opnsense: 22.7.2

My current setup looks like this:
Fiber -> SFP on Media converter -> RJ45 on Media converter -> WAN Opnsense (igb1)

This setup works pretty much out of the box, no PPPoE or Vlan tagging required, and I receive my IPs via DHCP.

Since the DEC740 has SFP slots I would like to move the SFP module directly to the DEC740 to reduce the number of devices, cables and save a little electricity.

My desired setup looks like this:
Fiber -> SFP on WAN Opnsense (ax1)

When i plug in the SFP module it gets recognized by Opnsense and when I plug in the fiber cable the link is shown as up however I don't receive any IPs. My ISPs tech support also confirmed that the link is up and looking good.

I asked them if I needed to provide them with a mac address or spoof a mac address, they said no.
I asked them if I needed to set a vlan tag, they said no.
I asked them if I needed to pass any special Parameters in the DHCP request, they said no.
They suggested I try PPPoE and provided me with the credentials however I just receive PPPoE timeouts.
I also disconnected the link and waited 4+ hours for the end of the DHCP lease, without success.
I also tried setting the IPs manually without luck.

While researching my problem I came across this issue here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/pd2kbf/no_ip_on_wan_with_new_isp/
Using packet capture in Opnsense I couldn't rule out having this problem because I only see DHCP Discover Packets sent by Opnsense and no Offer.

In the general log I did notice this error:

/usr/local/opnsense/scripts/shell/setports.php: The command '/sbin/dhclient -c '/var/etc/dhclient_wan.conf' -p '/var/run/dhclient.ax1.pid' 'ax1'' returned exit code '15', the output was 'ax1: no link ... got link DHCPDISCOVER on ax1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 1 DHCPDISCOVER on ax1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 2 DHCPDISCOVER on ax1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 5 DHCPDISCOVER on ax1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14'

Do you have any thoughts on what I'm missing or how I could proceed?
