pfSense 5Gb/s Ethernet NIC

Hardware Hub Networking

I just had 5Gb google fiber installed (up from ATT 2Gb/s) and I have an intel X540T2 10Gb/e card for the fiber jack ethernet port. I am NOT using their router/modem. I’m using bring your own router. I have 10Gb/s SFP+ to my switch stack and primary servers.

No link light. on the X540. I went back to my 2.5Gb/s card (QNAP QXG-2G1T-I225) and everything works fine (except my speed is limited). What card do I need to get for the WAN side?

I appreciate any help.

If I remember right, the X550 does multi gig where the X540 only does 1/10gig.

I currently run a X550-T2 in my pfsense and it runs like a charm (connected at 10 gig).
