        Install the System Patches package and then install all the recommended updates (System->Patches) and then reboot. See if that resolves your PPPoE issue.

          What do you see in the ppp log when it disconnects?

            @phildean66 said in pfsense dropping pppoe connection multiple times an hour:

            TPG is my Provider for NBN

            VLAN for PPPoE (re0.10) which from managed switch is untagged to NBN

            Don't TPG still use PPPoE over VLAN 10?

            Try including the managed switch to NBN modem link in VLAN 10.

              TPG don't use a VLAN normally to NBN as every other setup I used previously I never configured a vlan on I've only done it on the pfsense setup as I have 1 network connection and had to limit the traffic on the LAN,

              pfsense on my managed switch in port 47 has vlan 10 tagged and vlan 1 native and port 48 which is going to NBN has only vlan 10 and it's set as native so no tag appears.

                  Ok so what happens between those logs? Something is shutting down the mpd service.
                  Anything in the system log at those times?

                    TPG don't use a VLAN normally to NBN

                    I was working from memory there. Actually, it's VLAN 2 that TPG expects. For example, see this recent post on Whirlpool.

                    If you had been using TPG-supplied routers, the VLAN would have been preconfigured. Not sure about the ER but easy enough to check.

                    BTW, I assume you realise that, with only one network port on the NUC, you will be sharing its 1Gb/s bandwidth between LAN and WAN - limiting your Ultrafast download.

                    USB/ethernet adapters are not normally recommended here.

                        Yeah I know.

                        standard basic setup wizard used on the ER so I know there was no VLAN, currently ER has been up for 22hr on the WAN connection since I swapped it back in yesterday until I can work out the issue with this.

                        I don't have another device I can try for this setup yet.

                          Sorry, out of ideas there except maybe trying VLAN 2 is worth a go.

                          Have to say, my experience with TPG a few years ago put me right off ever dealing with them again.

                            @phildean66 said in pfsense dropping pppoe connection multiple times an hour:

                            This is usually a sign you need to be using the alternative Realtek driver. You mentioned above you were going to try it but I assume you have not yet.

                            Using any other type of NIC instead is preferable though. (Except USB! 😉 )

                              I have loaded up 197 driver and will see how that goes.
