Dude this has ZERO to do with pfsense.. You stated your connection is PPPoE right.. Did you contact your ISP about this when you change the device doing the pppoe connection..

If your cpu was maxing out or something.. Then ok you might say pfsense can't handle the speed, etc.

When you connect these cheap routers, your setting them up for pppoe - or your just doing dhcp on them?

@chpalmer:

Two of our people using the tg862 both had different issues.  Have you tried any other modems?

no i didn't.

And…it is fixed.
No clue how.
I just restarted the firewall. (I guess something i should have done first).  ::)

Thanks everybody for your time!

@BlueKobold  So just to clarify Im taking the LAN port of the EdgeRouter and plugging that into the WAN of pfSense?  Also when you say pfSense needs to have a static IP at the WAN interface, does that just mean setting it static in the EdgeRouter and entering that address on the WAN port of the server?  Sorry if I literally just asked what you stated.  I just want to make sure I'm on the right page.  Is there anything I need to configure in the EdgeRouter?

Thanks again for your help, its greatly appreciated.

@mtarbox:

No IPTV or set top boxes in my system.

Then I would be trying turning it out!

Edit the downloaded config and restore it to the unit?

Thank you for your tips!

I'll try to run the Apple TV on a separate LAN interface.

@mirkwoody:

True.

He said that even some off-the-shelf known brand routers would be kicked off.. because.. noise..

That's the first I've heard of that one.

Thanks JIM.

Sorry the installer was 2.3.4 from usb, I downloaded the 2.4 as you suggested and it installed fine thanks again for always giving great advice.

PFSENSE runs fantastic on these Kaby lake, and at Idle are really  low power did over 1 hour just on the UPS  (around 4W)

Even better. Now I have a bug report as well!

OK cool.  Thanks

Also: What type of interface is your WAN? (brand/make/model/driver name and also how it's configured such as static, dhcp, pppoe, etc)

@xphiles:

can you then disable the LAN port and still carry traffic over the VLANs?

In the original example, the LAN was moved to the tagged vlan and the raw interface was no longer assigned to an interface, so no you would not disable the LAN.

Hi,

The default firewall rule present on LAN will handle the job : pass all.

I'm not using any Google tools myself (except their mail services) but I guess "Chrome Remote Desktop" works the same way as "TeamViewer" : there is no need to setup something on your router. There is nothing that says you have to "NAT" something on your router.
Which is quiet logic because Google want to see all the information you see, so all info passes by THEIR servers fist. This means that both app on both sides connects to a central Google server, which means that both devices - the controller and the "controlled one" make outbound connections only, which means pfSense is set up by default just fine.
