Pfsense Only Getting Half Internet Speed Test

Unit works well. Getting 900K+ on speed tests. Only issue is the unit has to be power cycled if you change IP connection to a different unit

I have Xfinity and one day I decide to do a speed test, I’m paying for gigabit internet and was barely getting 70 mbps with their provided router. I decided to upgrade and this thing WORKS it was an easy install, a lot smaller than the previous one and handles my internet speed easily no bottlenecks or anything. I have previously bought net gear and ended up coming back I know where my business will always be!

The Netgear CM1000 was a breeze to setup and once registered, I ran an internet speed test to find out that I was now getting the maximum speed for my service. Highly recommend it.

This modem allows me to use my gigabyte Internet to its full capacity with no problem. Speed test shows 965 MB per second Internet speed download.

Works great in pfSense. Plug and play also in Linux. Can now take full advantage of my fiber internet speed.

This works with pfSense v 2.6.0 and solved all of my issues. I was using a 10GB fiber card, which I thought was working fine until my ISP raised my upload speed. I was getting 1.4 Gbps down and 35 Mbps up, but was increased to 1.4 Gbps down and 240 Mbps up. The issue had to do with data coming in to PfSense from my 10GB switch and queuing; I never had an issue getting all of my download speed, and I was getting all of my 35 Mbps up. After the upgrade, my upload speed didn't increase, and actually went down a bit. Research led me to getting a 2.5 Gbps card for my pfSense router, and this card indeed solved by issue. Didn't need to do anything with drivers as of pfSense 2.6+, though as I understand it, drivers for the intel i225 chipset are an issue prior to 2.6.0. I have my WAN port connected to my Xfinity XB8 modem on the sole 2.5Gb port. The LAN interface is connected to my Mikrotik CRS-305 10Gb switch. Finding the right transceiver was an issue. The first 2 transceivers, one being a 10Gb RJ45 and the other being a 2.5Gb RJ45, did not work. I ultimately had success with the MikroTik S+RJ10 transceiver, which auto-negotiated at 2.5Gb immediately when connected to this Qnap card. Hopefully if anyone else is looking to do a similar setup with a Mikrotik switch to get a 10Gb LAN with a lesser multi-gig ISP, my review is helpful.

The speed of this thing is insane. Getting 8k raw and 120fps without problems.

I have had zero issues with this modem and the internet speed has been great!

This Speed Ring is well built. I'm using it on my Elinchrom lights with a Photoflex Half Dome. There's absolutely nothing 'wrong' with this Speed Ring. That said, like most softboxes getting the rods into it the first time or two will cause you to perspire slightly. Second issue (probably more about the monolight than the ring) is that getting it secured in my Elinchrom's is a bit of an art. There isn't an easy way to get this done unfortunately.

Getting one of these sample packs is a great way to get a range of papers you want to explore and test at a reasonable price. The ones I have used so far are outstanding.
