      @SteveITS what I have notice is that at the precise time, I am unable to access the device using the IP address, but when I log into pfsense web GUI I can still see the IP, the device reboots due to lost if IP address.

        @wapabeti Are you using Kea DHCP, which, despite the warning banner in pfSense, is in "feature preview" and incomplete? If so I'd start by switching back.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

                  @wapabeti If you think it's a DHCP issue is there anything in the pfSense DHCP log? Or a log on the device about why it's losing its IP? (which is what I understood you to say)

                      @wapabeti So it's repeatedly reassigning the same IP? That was a problem in the very early phase of 23.09 as I recall, and fixed for not-early-upgraders and for all in 23.09.1. Are you on 23.09.1?
