Really scratching my head over this one......
Finished rebuilding this corporate box as a windows PC and ran into a snag when I did a speedtest in firefox.... came back 650/590 in spite of the 2.5GB network card. Then proceeded to hunt down the latest and greatest drivers with no change, followed by cabling and switch reassignments, and finally thought that perhaps the NIC needed to be swapped into the second full length PCIe slot.
Still no joy, but here's where it gets weird.... On a hunch, I installed and ran the windows store app which well-what-do-you-know.... showed me the 2300+ up/down numbers I was expecting. Back to firefox, and nope.... still down around the 650/590 range, and edge was slightly higher uploads (850ish) but close to normal downloads.
I don't have this issue on my gaming PC (getting full expected up/down speeds in browser tests) so it's not something that's happening at the opnsense level.
Any ideas?
