      SG-3100, 23.05.1

      Happens, almost daily but at random times. Majority of the time its in the middle of the night so I don't notice. They share nothing prior to the SG-3100 - including poles. I have a unique property and due to the distance, some of my own poles, they go off in completely different directions.. One goes due north and the other south-west. I know where the ISP's hubs are which makes general sense to where they are going.

      I'm assuming its time for an upgrade. It must be the firewall.

        Those logs are not the WANs going down. Those are showing dpinger starting (or re-starting) on each WAN with the values it's using.

        Something else will have caused dpinger to restart, probably logged just prior to that.

          @stephenw10 What is weird, all of my internet goes down. music stops, remote connections reconnect, etc.. despite being primarily on WAN not WAN2, wan2 is just the backup

            Check the other logs at that time. You can see in both those cases dpinger was restarted by something shortly after WAN was marked down due to packet loss.
