Hello everyone,
I'm new to this and completely lost with my setup. I need your help.
I bought a TopTon mini-PC with an Intel N150 (Alderlake ULX) quad-cores processor and Intel i226-v Ethernet cards.
My internet service provider is currently Proximus Fiber with 500 Mbps download and upload speeds.
If I connect my PC directly to the Proximus box, I get the correct speed.
I initially installed Proxmox and OpenSense on my mini-PC. When I run speed tests, I only get around 200 Mbps (speedtest-cli ou iperf3).
After searching forums and trying different solutions, I haven't been able to get it working properly.
I tried disabling hardware checksum offload, hardware TCP segmentation offload, and hardware large receive offload, but nothing changed. I also disabled ASPM in the BIOS. I added a few tunables in OPNsense. But still nothing.
I also tried network card passthrough, but again, no improvement.
Finally, I wiped everything and installed OPNsense directly on the mini-PC, thinking that virtualization might be the cause. But no.
As a last resort, I booted Linux Mint in Live Session mode from a USB drive, and there I got a speed of 500 Mbps.
I don't understand why I'm being throttled as soon as I install OPNsense. I thought it was a powerful tool, but I can't even achieve a decent speed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
François
