Just an update. Everything seems to be working now. I got main EERO off, and a "waterfall" EERO setup seems to work. Now I'm looking to buy cheap 10g mutli-gig router.... TP-Link TL-SX1008 is +$200 cheaper than Netgear XS508M (my option)...

thank you :-) However as much as it is tempting I'm not risking spending money on something that may not work. I will most likely buy Netgear XS508M, local warranty and I can actually try it on my network for 30 days.

Hasivo S1100WP-8XGT-SE There are enough people using this switch now thanks to the coverage from STH that one can decide if it's worth the "risk". Check AliExpress reviews, STH article/YouTube, other forums and YouTube in general. Setting a...

My options are very limited because I want RJ45 10gb multi-gig switch. QNAP QSW-2104-2T-A-US / TRENDnet TEG-S762 <-- Cheapest only 6 ports ( 2 x 10gb and 4 2.5gb) and also a lot reviews with reliability problems. TP-Link TL-SX1008 is the...

Thank you. Yes, Sx1008 is a cheaper option, however there is a lot reports of dying ports within a year or so. Also I want to buy something from Amazon so I have 30 days to test it before I keep it.

I have an entirely different experience with Netgear. At one of my work locations there is a 48 port Netgear GS752TP that's been chugging for forever that is almost fully populated, 0 issues. At home my "core" switch is a Netgear MS510TXUP and...

id bypass netgear, we used to use them at work and after alot of issues with them we are replacing them. Port failures, weird issues with loopbacks and sudden factory resets.

For the mutli-gig switch I might spend few more $$$ to buy something that will last me longer. I see some cheaper 10gb switches are not lasting long (ports are dying). I'm looking hard at Netgear xs508m and Qnap M2108R-2C Any thoughts?

Below are results with -P (2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20 and 30). Please let me know if this looks ok? thanks again guys :) Also please let me know if you want me to test anything else. FYI... I've changed the x540 nic settings in windows 11...

thanks. I think I've used": iperf3 -c <OpnSense Ip> -t 20 -P 2 -p <port#>. If there is anything in particular to test please let me know. EDIT: I will try with -P, 3, 5 and up to 20. I will try that later today or tomorrow.

Little late to the party, but I'd also try the -P switch on iperf and hit it will multiple parallel streams until it maxes out. I'll start with 3 and 5 but have had to use as many as 20 on an IPsec vpn tunnel to max it out. I'd be very...

Yes direct connection with cat-6 and cat-7 cables. I think everything is ok now, thanks to for your responese :)

That just says the link is negotiated to 10g, doesnt guarantee line speed

thanks guys... it looks like it was Zenarmor holding me back, which does not support MTU over 1500 (jumbo frames). I uninstalled Zenarmor on my OPNSense (anyways due to my hardware is not being powerful enough to run it) and I'm getting much...

this is the link speed I see under my windows 11. The actual connection says it is 10gb. ( please note these screenshots are not my screenshot / system. ). Using the old control on windows 11 panel shows 10gb connection.

Huh? Link speed should be 10/100/1000/2500/5000/10000 Mbps My gut says not a driver issue. Are you connecting both clients directly to the OPNsense box? If you aren't you can stop reading this paragraph. Don't do this. Software bridges...

Well, if windows doesn't install the best automatically, I guess next would be from intel: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/60020/intel-ethernet-controller-x540at2/downloads.html There's a bsd driver too, but it may not work...

I'm still testing OPNSense bare metal router build before deploying it into my LAN. Today I've tested iperf3 with x540-at2 (LAN) and my windows 11 PC server (smb/plex) with x540-at2. I used cat6 cable to connect both boxes. I discovered I'm only...

Hey.. Just an update. I've been playing with OPNSense for a bit and I got a simple install going. Since I didn't know how things will go I used 120g laptop HDD instead of SSD I have (I will comeback to that). The install was a breeze and by...

Everybody cool is in here, so FYI, I saw this on serve the home article comments today https://www.amazon.com/TEROW-2-5G-POE-Multi-Speed-Compatible/dp/B0CGDCBBV3 if you clip the coupon, it shows up as $50 in checkout; but not sure if you can get...
