Slow WAN after upgrade

[FullyBorked]

So as @Mondmann mentioned power settings.  I set mine to maxiumum and tested and my speeds were back to 100% what I would expect.  Then set it back to hiadaptive and speeds are still fine.  Wonder if it's a powerd bug causing the performance issue.  Gonna keep testing this.

@FullyBorked
if after the reboot of OPNsense everything is still OK then the problem seems to be solved...

@Mod
closed and pinned?

I can't confirm this

setting it from hiadaptiv to max went from ~600 to ~700, but close to ~940 which it used to be. Also on hiadaptiv

So its back to normal or not? I'm not upgrading until it is fixed. I may wait for a point release before I upgrade. 20.7 seems to be full of bugs.

Mine still seems fine, I'm very confused on why it's working now.  I don't know if changing power fixed it or one of the other 5 billion things I've tried.  In my opinion you should wait till the first point release before upgrading.  Let most of the larger bugs get sorted.  Wish I had waited...

I agree... thinking I'll wait a bit. 20.1.9 seems to be working fine for now.

I just installed 20.7 on a brand new Qotom Q575G6.

Previously on a Protectli (Celeron 2.4 Ghz, 8G RAM, 32 SSD) and I got 950+ Mbps via Speedtest.net without Sensei and 600 Mbps with Sensei default settings.

On Qotom Q575G6 (i7 2.7 Ghz, 16 G RAM, 512 SSD) and I get 950+ Mbps via Speedtest.net without Sensei and ~250 Mbps with Sensei default settings. If I enable bypass mode on Sensei I get 950+ Mbps again.

I have tried enabling PowerD (helps a little ~280 Mbps), but that didn't help very much.

I'm wondering if there is a related issue.

Morning Gentlemen,

i am reading about the powermodes here. My box is set to hi adaptive.

Do i have to enable the "Use Power D" option or can i set all beneath options to max?

thanks

Hello All,
Test the energy management setting once
on Hightadaptive! All others reduce the transfer rates to about 50%.

I can confirm that this does NOT solve the issue. Both 20.7 and 20.7.1 have this issue. I will have to go back to the previous version.

I have the exact same issue w/ 20.7.1 and Sensei, Sensei enabled ~250 and disabled full bandwidth. Had the support staff at Sensei take a look and indicated no problem, which I disagree. Did not have the issue prior to 20.7. My setup is a Core i5, 32GB RAM, and intel NICs.

hmmmm.....

[NoOne777]

I'm having the same problem ... ~940 Mbps on 20.1 dropped to no more than ~700Mbps (running on ESXi 7, quad core xeon). Reverted to a pre-upgrade snapshot and the speed is back! :(

[mother-64]

I have been observing a drop in download speed as well, about 10Mbps; you might think this is not a lot but it is proportionally to what I normally have which is 70/20.
I was blaming my ISP first but it seems to correlate with my upgrade from 20.1 to 20.7.
I am not using anything fancy like IPS/IDS.

edit:  "Intel i210-AT Gigabit Ethernet"  (from manufacturer)
"Intel I210 Gigabit Network Connection" (from `pciconf -lv` command)

[mr.yx]

Observing the same:
20.1.9: 230/45mbit
20.7.1: 130-160/45mbit

same sync, only difference is opnsense version, i tried my backup msata with pfsense and speed is up to normal.

no ids, nothing fancy just upgraded the old install, also tried the powerd (adaptive/max), hasn't changed anything.

used hw: APU.2C4 with intel i210AT
