Id personally try a different router distro unless you need pfsense, try opensense and untangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you really need webcaching, it often doesn't help much in a small network or home from my testing. Are you trying to vlan all the lan + wan + other from the single laptop port? Id just get more usb nics, esp as its only 100mbit. Lots of low end nics on laptops also just don't support vlans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want network bonding for that then, you want smb multichannel, and that doesn't need vlans at all. ALso you don't need a router that supports vlans to use vlans on a network, you can do it all on the switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigabit is only full duplex, so how are you getting half duplex for gigabit? What is your network diagram? What link are you trying to spee dup.

What clients do you have? They may be limiting you here. Pfsense won't help you get faster wifi, you need better access points if you want better wifi. Id get something like a unifi ap-hd series or a high end consumer router if you want faster wifi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
