OK, so how do we know that the Link Down/Up event was not a genuine event on the port?

I've applied this fix to my Atom N3150 box with 2 x Realtek NICs. Before, when I would push a lot of traffic (600+ mbps) through the system, either the LAN or WAN interface (or both) would crash. None of the fixes I found on the internet including disabling hardware checksum / hardware offloading under Advanced fixed this. But I'm happy to report that once I installed this driver, I can push a ton of traffic through the system without too much trouble!

@aGeekHere: just tested it again, it no longer works, oh well. I`d try it too - no effect ((( No ideas more? (

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.

in windows open cmd as administrator and type netstat -ab. Also check this out https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=33833.0

Turn up another inside interface that doesn't use squid/squidguard and test again.

Posted a reaction about natting on ipsec in that other thread.. Its not the same as for regular interfaces.

Have you tried either of those devices? What was the result? That list is by no means complete, it's only what people have confirmed as working. Steve

It still might be a problem with your radios and the number of simultaneous associations they can handle. Router or bridge mode shouldn't matter that much.

"I want to put their traffic in a higher queue to speed it up. " Doesn't work that way - unless your pipe was full and that is the reason it slow. I have direct tv, and have no issues at all.. And I sure don't have anything special setup.  Now queues that is for sure ;)

Hi jcl, How many SSID you setup in your router? If you try to disable Captive Portal for a few sec, what happen?

I also see you can use System Tunables and add the sysctl. On menu under System >Advanced >System Tunables Pick 'add' and use hw.acpi.lid_switch_state as the tunable and desired Power State as 'value'

An update…not that any one has replied yet. I did a test.  Installed a clean pfsense build on a new hard drive.  Only configured WAN and LAN. Issue was the same.  This means that it has nothing to do with any of my configurations, out of the box there is something weird happening. The only other thing...that I have not tried...is a completely different box...but I just cannot imagine that this is the problem.  This resources are nothing on this box. Thoughts??

Sorry that I didn't mention mptcp from the beginning but I didn't want someone to think that I wanted to use this protocol particularly to achieve what I wanted even more when I'm not sure of what this protocol exactly is  :D Thank you for the links, I think I'm going to put in place a load balancing configuration ! Just a stupid I can't really see why you can't have protocol or something capable of : "Hello Server  I'm Wan1 I want to download this file but you can send packets to this adresses Wan 1 and Wan 2. Then after behind the Wans you have a bond that can reorder the packets in order to obtain your complete file and deliver it to the local machine that was doing the request" ? I agree it seems a bit complicated like that but not impossible from my amateur point of view…

@Derelict: What does this have to do with pfSense? When I googled the message Im getting the ONLY link that came up was this forum.

"Your just wanting to edit the descriptive name…" Yes :) https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7861
