Diese Geräte haben Intel-Netzwerkkarten, da solltest du auch in deiner angestrebten Preisregion fündig werden:

https://www.amazon.de/HSIPC-Firewall-Appliance-Router-i226-V/dp/B0CP1VZRG7

Z.B. N150 mit 16 GB RAM: 319€ - geht auch unter 300€ aber die Ausführung hätte auf jeden Fall genug "Wumms".

(Dank an @meyergru, der den Link in einem anderen Thread gepostet hatte.)

Ich würde von Realtek generell die Finger lassen. Auch wenn es im Moment einen Herstellertreiber gibt, heißt das ja nicht, dass der für FreeBSD 15, 16, ... in der Zukunft auch noch zur Verfügung steht. Der Intel-Support ist im FreeBSD Kernel.


Willkommen im Forum und viel Erfolg,

Hardware and Performance / Burst of packages causes slown...
Last post by Sprudeldude - February 23, 2026, 10:33:51 PM
Hi

Lately i'm experiencing slow loading speeds on casual browsing.
When i check the "Health" dashboard and filter on "Packets" of my LAN network, i'm seeing this spikes of "inpass" & "outpass" packets.
These spikes are at the same moment as i'm experiencing the slowness.

The amount of packages, between 4-60 million package looks way too much? As i see earlier in the graph it should be between 100.000 and 500.000 and experiencing no slowness.

Can Opnsense help me further to track down what is causing these spikes?

Kind regards

At the moment yes, because the standard says so. Once a lease is granted it is valid for the relevant time period. Only the client can release it. OPNsense follows the book here, I don't know from the top of my head if a change is planned.

You can find part of the discussion with links to more here:

https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/9217


If the client is Windows you can use "ipconfig something something /release".

If you not get the IP address you expect per your contract, only your ISP can fix that.

Yes, it's about kea (it's in the title). It can't be right to assign a static IP address and then wait until the dynamic lease expires so that the device can connect to the network. Is that really how it's supposed to work?

I can only say as much:

Without "ignore client UIDs" checked reservations based on MAC addresses do not work in Kea. I only want to care about MAC addresses, no idea what these UIDs even are and honestly do not care. MAC address --> IP address. Like DHCP has always worked.

Quote from: endurium on February 23, 2026, 07:20:54 PMI know the WAN is connecting okay because successful authentication is confirmed in the logs, but the IP address shown isn't the correct static IP address that should be assigned by my ISP.
The IP assignment is part of the PPPoE handshake. You can as well see in the log, which IP is offered to you by the ISP.
So what does the log show regarding the IP?

And which IP do you get in fact? Is it a public one?

Are you serious ?!

Soo much advanced hardware that's not exactly cheap and you need our help ?!

Weird...



Anyways...



To give you something to research :

- OPNsense = Assign new VLAN Interface to Outgoing NIC the first Switch is connected to.
- Tell the Switch that you connect with OPNsense the VLAN needs to be Tagged on the used Switch Port.
- Further transport of VLANs between Switches needs to be Tagged too!
- When you arrive at the Switch to Accesspoint connection this needs to be Tagged too!
- On the Accesspoint you choose the Tagged VLAN for the Radio Interface.

Good luck! & Have fun learning how to do the above! ;)
