        Go to Diag > Routes.
        Does it show a default route for IPv4 via the WAN gateway?

            @Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

            i see default re0 (lan)

            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)

                    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.

                            @Spectrum do you suggest to delete this option in the lan network (re0)?

                              I'm only suggesting you delete any gateways defined on LAN in System > Routing > Gateways.

                              However it should be working as it is?

                                @stephenw10 sistem / routing / gateway have only wan . lan no longer appears. the pc is connected pero many sites can't access. i'm thinking maybe i need to see if it accepts both http and https. am i doing the thinking wrong?

                                        Ok great try to ping google.com from pfSense.

                                        If that succeeds try to ping google.com from a client on the LAN.
