disregard, I figured it out.  IDS/IPS was dropping speeds.

after going through all the settings one by one I finally figured it out.  When IPS/IDS is turned on, the speeds drop.  Turn it off and speeds are as they should be.  IDS drops it a bit, IPS drops it a lot more.  IPS with hyperscan drops it the most, IPS with default pattern matcher drops less than with hyperscan.

Hi,

I just installed the Intel I225 in my box and I'm not getting the 2.5Gbs speeds, only around 710Mbps speeds.  Did you have to do anything to get the proper speeds after installing the card?

I finally found Intel 2.5G NICs and swapped for the Realtek NIC.  Getting slightly better speed but still not near 2.5G.

Hi

I installed a TRENDnet 2.5GBase-T NIC that uses the Realtek 8125 chipset for the LAN connection on my OPNsense box.  Installed the os-realtek-re driver.

It connects to a TRENDnet 2.5G PoE switch that is connected to my Engenius WAP that has a 2.5G WAN port, and also to a laptop with a 2.5G USB NIC.

iperf3 shows proper 2.5G speeds between the laptop and the WAP, but going to the OPNsense box is only about 650Mbps.

Is there something I need to do to get the OPNsense box to get the 2.5G speeds? or is this an issue with Realtek devices?

Any ideas?  thanks!
