I have 2 Gb/s down using opnsense on a n150 mini pc. The one I got has 2 x 2.5gb ports. I don’t have too many devices, but I’ve never had issues getting that full download speed. During downloads where I hit my full speed, it hits about 30% usage. During normal usage like games/streaming/web browsing I don’t see above 10% usage.

Any chance you remember where you got it from? Did it come with the two NICs at 2.5Gb/s out the box?
Looks like they don’t make it anymore but I got the aoostar n1 pro on amazon. I would try eBay or AliExpress to find something similar. https://www.amazon.com/AOOSTAR-N1-PRO-Upgraded-Full-Featured/dp/B0F9K1G96Q
It has both 2.5 gigabit ports built in. Its basically purpose built for opnsense. I just connected a multi gig switch and a WAP and it’s great.
Interesting, found this for $420
