@chpalmer: Yes it is possible.  Happy reading!    ;) https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r29903721-AT-T-Residential-Gateway-Bypass-True-bridge-mode https://strscrm.io/bypassing-gigapowers-provided-modem.html Nice. Thanks

Thanks. Tried todays build and am now up and running  ;D

@PiBa: Can you try from console / ssh ?: pkg update -f pkg upgrade -f that worked.  its bizzar the update function isn't working for some reasons

When you setup, your aren't mixing up LAN and WAN - connected to the wrong port ? By default, the LAN is 192.168.1.1/24 and DHCP is ON - just accept all the defaults.

bonnie222, I have to agree with johnpoz.  You have something going on with your DNS configuration.  Have you checked your DNS settings to make sure you have a DNS server configured?  Can you successfully look up A records for sites like www.pfsense.org and files00.netgate.com.  If you can't do A record lookups you certainly aren't going to be able to do SRV record lookups. There is an option under 'System -> General Setup -> DNS Server Settings' that allows your ISP DHCP settings to override the local DNS server settings.  If you are using DHCP from your ISP and using their DNS servers make sure this is checked. This should not be unchecked unless you have your own DNS servers, you want to use different DNS servers (like google), or your ISP doesn't provide DNS via DHCP.  If the box is unchecked you have to manually configure DNS servers. If your box has Internet access to google's DNS servers you can test by using 8.8.8.8  as a DNS Server, uncheck 'DNS Server Override" and check the "Disable DNS Forwarder'.  This will skip using the pfSense box for DNS and go directly to Google's DNS server.  If this works then either your ISP isn't providing a DNS server via DHCP and you need to configure a DNS server manually or your own DNS server is filtering what you are allowed to resolve. Hope this helps.

We did not try removing package prior to upgrade. Thank you for checking scripts.

I think it's better to go https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=43574.585 and post your question again, just linking this topic, may be somebody can help you.

Sounds like a bits vs bytes difference.?. both can be correct but do differ by a factor 8.

pfSense on the SG-1000 has been beta since the device was released.  2.4 is the first release to support it.

We used to fudge the update message on older repos to find the newer version numbers directly, but that had some unintended side effects. tl;dr is that if you run the update anyhow it'll update to 2.3.4-p1 even though it only "sees" 2.3.3_1 as the "latest". To be extra certain, run the upgrade from the console or ssh.

Well after all that….. It turned out that it was in fact the new network cable from the servers NIC2 port to the switch. I changed the cable for another new cable and hey presto all singing all dancing  :) Incidentally i'm struggling to get services through the firewall and after following numerous tutorials i'm still non the wiser but that's a different issue. Thanks for your help.

no guide. you can find bits an pieces around the forum if you look for it. chances are very small you'll get a build working for a random arm device, but do keep us updated :)

Is it set to BIOS or UEFI?  PFsense doesn't do UEFI yet, so you have to use BIOS (Or legacy or what ever Dell call it)

@b00rishev: The issue is getting IP addresses allocated to the WAN and LAN NICs. I either get one or the other. Sounds like you got the scope wrong and connected both LAN and WAN to your switch. Do it this way: Zyxel –- pfSense WAN | pfSense LAN --- SWITCH --- computers, printers, APs, etc. Only WAN gets an IP from the Zyxel (as long as that one is not in bridged mode). Set IP for LAN manually. Must be different from IP-on-WAN settings, completely different subnet. pfSense is a router. It can only route between different networks. Otherwise it would be a bridge/switch.

Update: After a reboot the update completed. Seems the swap partition filled up… Regards, Joachim

DNS issue… It s working now...

If your WAN1 gateway is down hard for the duration, I would just make the WAN2 gateway the default gateway until WAN1 is back up. Any of these remarkable checkboxes checked on either of your gateways?  

Yeah it can do some strange things since the terminal type doesn't match exactly. It installs fine regardless. FWIW I am having much better luck selecting vt100 in the new installer on 2.4 (in beta) using kermit on a mac..
