Gateway widget shows offline, 100% packet loss, but I'm NOT offline
-
Gb fiber was installed this morning at my home. My provider does static IP with a DHCP reservation, so my XG-7100 is configured as DHCP, however the installer first told me to set it up for Static. When I did that I had no internet connection, but when I changed it back to DHCP, I have internet access, and the correct IP appears in the Interfaces Widget, but in the Gateways Widget it shows the Gateway IP address in both the Gateway field (WANGW) and the WAN IP(WAN_DHCP) field. Also, it shows Offline, Packetloss (100% packetloss) and Unknkown in the DHCP field. It also shows the correct IP in the console. I'm stumped as to what's going on. Thanks in advance.

@Ramizak Use one of googles DNS-servers as a monitoring address. For IPv4 I use 8.8.4.4.

@Ramizak I use google and cloudflare

How you use both...
For a start, show Status/Gateways and the gateway in System/Routing/Gateways/Edit.

@Bob-Dig Cloudflare is primary, google is secondary.... pfSense allows that

No. Use one of those as monitoring address in gateways.

I'll have to let my ignorance show. I don't know how to set up DNS as a monitoring address. I did clear the issue with it showing offline by looking at System-Gateway -

What Bob wants to say to you is use a IP adress from the Internet (8.8.8.8 - for example) that is answering pings as your Gateway monitoring adress and you're done.

@fireodo Got it! Thanks!
