Looking for some direction purchased this off Amazon AWOW Mini PC Dual 2.5gb NIC 256GB SSD 8GB DDR4, Intel N5105 Mini Computer. Installed opsense ran through the wizard. No extra rules nothing. Pay for 500 up and down fiber frontier. Speed test on the firewall get 6 down. After messing with tunables. Get 20 down and 500 up. Can't figure out why

Any direction would be appreciated

Already disabled hardware checksum offload Created a vlan and added a parent to the wan port in interfaces

Connected on my wifi with my phone through Nord VPN get normal speed for WiFi

Thanks !


installed the realtek drivers through the plugins same thing.

Did you ever get this figured out? Im currently trying to debug through my new install of frontier. I have an ONT > frontier provided router > Opnsense dual nic box i built. I know opnsense works just fine cuz it had been working for 4 years before i went with fiber. What i want to do is: ONT > Opnsense and get rid of the frontier provided router. I've seen people talking about vlan 0 and all sorts of stuff, but when i plug the ONT directly into my Opnsense box, nothing works. No ip, no internet, nothing. Contacting cust support was worthless, but i might try and reach out to them via twitter as i've heard you have to get through their first line of phone people before you get decent techs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i had to change the speed of the nic in the opnsense to 10/100 but idk if thats going to help you

10/100? What should that be?

You could set the interface speed manually to 10 or 100 Mbit/s, but I doubt that this would help with a 500/500 connection. If at all, it could help with certain ONTs to set the interface speed to 1000 MBit/s.
