Hi,
So I have deployed pfSense as a VM on Hyper-V running on a Gigabyte BRIXX, The BRIXX has a single NIC and I have separated the WAN and LAN via VLANs.
The below is the setup I have:
- One Virtual Switch in Hyper-V connected to the external Physical NIC of the BRIXX
- One vNIC on the pfSense box as set as a trunk for multiple VLANs (1-200)
- Netgear GS110TP managed switch with VLAN 5 untagged on port 1
- WAN Modem plugged into port 1
- Gigabyte BRIXX Physical NIC plugged into port 2 on the switch
- Port 2 is configured as a trunk to allow multiple VLANs including VLAN 5
- hn0 configured as the LAN on pfSense
- hn0.5 configured as a VLAN interface on VLAN 5
This works but my only issue is the WAN speed. When I run speedtest.net or even fast.com I get the full speed but as soon as it hits the max, it drops to around halfway and then creeps back up...
