I'm not familiar with command line in Linux and had difficulty updating an i225 2MB card I purchased from Aliexpress a few years ago. I was finally able to update the card using these instructions in Windows 10: https://hungvu.tech/how-to-update-nvm-firmware-for-intel-i225-and-i226-ethernet-controllers/

I have a Topton n100 running bare metal 26.1 with FTTH PPPoE 1.5 down and 1.0 up.

Without making any changes to the bios and only running Adguard Home,  the n100 can get maximum download and upload speed.

I looked under assignment overview for PPPoE and see nothing to indicate link speed.

For Opt2 (igc0) which is the WAN, I do see 2500.

PPPoE is single-threaded on FreeBSD. Your CPU won't do any better. Move on.

Thank you for the reply.

I'm okay with gigabit for now since all of my equipment, with the exception of 1 desktop, has gigabit NICs.

Hi,

Were you able to figure out the issue?

I'm a total noob and decided to try out a barebones Topton n100 with 4 x Intel i226v ports, added a 120 GB 2.5" SATA drive, and 8 GB of skhynix ram.

I started with bare metal 24.1 about a month ago and progressively updated to 24.7.1 as updates were released. Unit has been stable on all releases with no crashes.

I'm using eth0 for PPPoE (1.5/1.0 down/up) on VLAN 35 and eth1 for LAN. Not running any services other than Wireguard server and DDNS.

I connected my desktop directly to eth1 and can only get gigabit down and up as per Ookla tests on Chrome/Win10. With my asus gt-ax6000 and the same network cables, I can get 1.5/1.0.

Opnsense and Windows say the desktop is connected at 2.5 to eth1.

Maybe I have an incorrect bios setting for eth0 (WAN) port?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

@banym, your post allowed me to get noip working.

Thank you so much!
