Today I reinstalled pfsense, because of squid wasn't uninstalled correctly.
I hade no configuration done at all, so a reinstall seemed the fastest way to go.

So, reinstalled with exactly the same configuration.
pfsense says 1000Mbit on WAN and 1000Mbit on LAN, but I can only measure 100Mbit.
Without the pfsense-router it goes up to 200 where it's supose to be.

Any ideas?

[SirMacke]

Reinstalled again, reset BIOS but still only 100Mbit.
The NIC is a DualPort Intel Pro 1000Mbit.

The card works fine.
Tested both ports in my dekstop = 200mbit
Tested other cables and so on.

Only thing left is checking the other hardware, but I don't see why it should have anything to do with this.

Router hardware:
Asus P5N-D
E8600
4Gb DDR2
Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter

Run 'top -SH' at the console while testing your download speed.
Are you running out of CPU for some reason? You shouldn't be with that machine.
Do you have a duplex mismatch between the WAN interface and whatever it's connected to?
Bad cable? Is it exactly 100Mbps? Seems suspicious.

It is strange.
It worked before, same configuration, nothing has changed so why this is happening I don't know.
Have to check the machine later this evening.

Maxed out on 98Mbit/s

[SirMacke]

Aww..

The NIC port 2 only gives 100Mbit.
Why this now, the speed is 1000Mbit, says both the PC and the modem.

[stephenw10]

Both ends set to auto detect speed and duplex?
Your ISP decided to limit you? 

So all you did was reinstall, with the same version?

Yes.
Tried the card in my desktop.

Port 1: 1000Mbit connection, 200Mbit measured
Port 2: 1000Mbit connection, 100Mbit measured

So the card is smoked, how it can indicate 1Gbit and deliver 100Mbit I don't know, probably firmware problems or a faulty circuit.
Checked the physical port, but no problems visible.

Warranty here we come!

[stephenw10]

Huh, that is not something I would have thought of.
Weird.
