Sanity check for N100 / i226 on a 2000 / 2000 line

I've just upgraded from a PPPoE based 900 / 110 full fibre contract to a DHCP based 2000 / 2000 with YouFibre.

I get 2000 / 2000 with the supplied router using Windows 11 and Ookla speedtest.

I get 1400 / 1400 with my N100 i226 based router both from bare metal OPNsense cli and Windows 11 (direct connection to the router).

I get similar 1400 / 1400 iperf3 numbers to and from Win11 to OPNsense (and over 2000 both ways to Unraid on the network)

I was hoping that my router would run at full 2000 / 2000 speed. Am I being unrealistic?

What is the CPU LOAD like during those benchmarks ??


Have you tried simply downloading something instead of Ookla Speedtest.net benchmarks ?
Or any Public iPerf3 Servers ?
