I installed pfsense on a server for a WISP. The LAN interface is connected to a switch which as 4 access points connected which provides the LAN connectivity to the clients.
On the WAN side is a cross-over cable connected to a Cisco 2500 series router with does absolutely nothing except to provide a serial port for the T1 connection. Every other day, the ISP are calling me to tell me that there is some problem with pfsense. And every day I explain to them, that there are multiple deployments of pfsense, and run almost flawlessly. I am not a networking person, just your average Unix Jedi. Can someone give me some indicators on how use the tools on pfsense to see where I can put my fingers on the real problems? For instance, I have great down speed, but up speed goes out at a crawl? Some clients are connected and others are not? Although I have traffic shaping in place, there are still problems where a customer snatches all of the bandwidth when downloading, leaving other clients crawling... Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! K.
