That's kind'a as expected , based on my experience when upgrading to Plus 23.01
That's also based on FreeBSD v14
My home boxes uses i5-5250U , that CPU is to old to use the new "Speed/Power stuff" so those behaved as usual, using the "Old Power settings"
But my i3 test box was "hit" , and was what i described in the thread i pointed to.
Yes it depends on the modem. If it has a route to the pfSense WAN you don't need to do anything. Some modems do not and require you NAT to their subnet so they can reply.
@stephenw10 At the risk of jinx'ing it, I'm going to declare the situation resolved by upgrading to 23.05. My box has been 100% stable for 34 days now which is 20-30 days more than it ever would on 23.01 before crashing with a hardware error.
So something is better in 23.05 on my particular 6100 :-)
Looking forward to 23.05.1 with the IPsec fix it includes :-)
