          Ok great.

          Use console menu option 7 to try to ping out from pfSense to 8.8.8.8. Then test to google.com

          If either of those fail what error is shown?

              Ok, great so pfSense cannot connect out.

              So in the pfSense webgui check Status > Gateways.
              I assume it shows 192.168.1.1 as the gateway?
              Does it show the gateway as down?

              Go to Diag > Routes.
              Does it show a default route for IPv4?

                  @Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

                  192.168.1.xxx

                  That is a private IP address there is no need to obscure it.

                  You should not have a gateway on LAN. Go to Interfaces > LAN and remove it.

                    @stephenw10 -General Configuration: enable interface
                    -Static IPv4 configuration: IPv4 address.
                    192.168.100.1/24
                    IPv4 Upstream gateway: none
                    -Reserved networks: Block private networks and loopback addresses and Block bogon networks (not active).

                    What exactly should I remove from these?

                        Ok upstream gateway is correct.

                        Go to System > Routing > Gateways.

                        Make sure there is only WAN gateway. Remove a LAN gateway if it shows there.

                            Does it show a default route for IPv4 via the WAN gateway?

                                Ok, that's bad. That's why it's broken.

                                Set the IPv4 default gateway to WAN_DHCP.

                                The delete the LAN gateway.

                                  @stephenw10 good morning. last night i turned off pfsense and unplugged the wan cable, today i turned on and plugged the cable in and it gives me connected. i went into the settings it said and it no longer gives me re0 (lan) as default. i don't know what is going on in my settings, but i am sure if i turn off or reboot now it will give me the problem again. how can i save these settings?

                                  IPv4 route
                                  127.0.0.X lo0
                                  192.168.1.X/24 re1 (wan)
                                  192.168.1.XXX lo0
                                  192.168.100.X/24 re0 (lan)
                                  192.168.100.X lo0

                                  Now only in ipv6 I see the wan in default, like this:
                                  IPv6 route
                                  default xxxxxxxx%re1 re1 (wan)

                                    @Spectrum although it tells me "connected" pero any site comes up as impossible to access

                                        Ok that's good. When it's set to automatic it may choose the LAN if the WAN goes down.

                                        But you should not have a LAN gateway at all. You should delete it from there anyway.
