      @stephenw10 Got-it,.. Never got to that menu before,. Thankyou..
      I get the following:-

      Jul 30 00:24:34 kernel igb1: link state changed to UP
      Jul 30 00:24:30 kernel igb1: link state changed to DOWN
      Jul 30 00:24:29 kernel igb1: link state changed to UP
      Jul 30 00:24:24 kernel igb1: link state changed to DOWN

      and I have 24 events, 12 ( up-down ) cycles at 24 seconds past midnight..
      although WAN 'last reset' just over 12:38hrs ago which does not correlate time wise with these event,.. which occured 15:38hrs ago

        All from the same day or are you saying the NIC bounces everyday at the same?

        Also I assume igb1 is actually the parent interface for the PPPOe connection?

        It's possible to unlock those modems which then gives you access to useful data such as uptime which would tell you if the modem is rebooting:

        Product type 	EchoLife HG612  
Device ID 	10C61F-21530315408K23024294
Hardware version 	VER.B
Software version 	V100R001C01B030SP08
Firmware version 	A2pv6C038m.d24j
Batch number 	BC1P6.030.A2pv6C038m.d24j
System up time 	231 days 10 hours 23 minutes 50 seconds

        The MT992 cannot be accessed unfortunately. 😞

          Humm,.. just checked,.. No,.. PPPOe is on igb0,..
          and LAN1 is on igb1,.. which connects to a single 8port netgear switch...
          Not saying this happens every night at just gone midnight,.. its just the last events it filtered...

            Ah, OK well if there are no events for igb0 then the modem is not rebooting.

            Filtering by newwanip should show you every time the PPPoE reconnected.

              Although looking deeper at 'link state changed',..
              This event,.. seems to occur every morning at 24seconds + or - past midnight,.. and lasts approx 4 or 5 seconds... but not sure how this is related...

                also,.. the MT992
                @stephenw10 said in WAN periodically Rebooting:

                The g.fast modems (MT992) that were very expensive at one time are now cheap as BT stopped rolling out g.fast. Don't ask how much I paid for one!
                They will do standard VDSL2 too and seem pretty good. Never had an issue with the one I have.
                Tx for the suggestion,..

                Do they need a firmware update like the 612 did?,.. or is this really just PnP...
                Seems like a good option,.. and at £20,.. just as easy to try one, in the fault finding exercise..
                Thankyou for the help advice

                  Just looking at log more,.. and using the filter,.. :-) ( love it )
                  It seems to happen quite a lot,.. sometimes twice a day,... but what causes this,.. is this 'me' or a BT driven event?

                    That seems suspicious. What is that connected to? Is that device resetting?
                    That interface flapping will trigger a bunch of stuff even if it's not the WAN.

                    I've never seen a firmware update but they don't have a user accessible interface either. AFAIK is really is PNP. There was another user here testing it if I could fine it. At one time those were all >£200!

                    Check the ppp logs. It should show what drove the disconnect event. It's usually the remote side.
                    For example this is something local closing it:

                    Jul 29 19:17:41 	ppp 	41282 	caught fatal signal TERM
Jul 29 19:17:41 	ppp 	41282 	[opt4] IFACE: Close event

Jul 29 19:17:41 	ppp 	41282 	[opt4] IPCP: LayerDown

                    This is some upstream problem:

                    Nov 23 08:19:16 	ppp 	14046 	[opt4_link0] LCP: no reply to 5 echo request(s)

Nov 23 08:19:16 	ppp 	14046 	[opt4] IPCP: Close event

                    Note I had to go back to November to find one. 😉

                      Looking into logs around 13:15 today,.. things look like this,
                      where there are many things happening,.. none of which look good, WAN failing up down layerup etc etc.. even to my untrained eye,.. but I hope will mean something to a 'trained eye of pfsense,..
                      ..Back to November,.. do you have a fixed IP,.. and are you maybe with another provider ( Not BT),.. as my last reboot, was intentional some 110days ago,.. any other 'house failures' as long as there less than 10hrs do not cause an issue... ( as Big battery on UPS )
                      I seek your advice,.. etc ,.. should I just buy an MT992? and replace modem?
                      Many Tx

                        Well the modem is not losing link to pfSense so it's not rebooting.

                        Those logs show it stops seeing responses from upstream but not the count of 5 missed replies that would trigger a reconnect. However the connection is them promptly closed which implies something was sent from upstream. If so a different modem might not make any difference.

                        However given the age of the HG612 I would probably try replacing it. An MT992 is likely to be better at using the available line conditions anyway.
                        What sort of connections speeds do you get?

                          Well using webtool 'speedtest',.. I get 40Mbps download, ( I am surprised ) and 15Mps up,.. with a ping of 15ms. No other traffic as far as I can see,.. but who knows what is up stream. at 9PM at night

                          Now many moons ago when I 1st setup pfsense I seem to recall getting 56Mbps,.. and prob 20Mbps Up,..

                          compared to 72Mbps the the offical BT, Modem,.. but I was happy with '56',.. as the 72 was only BT reporting on itself,...

                          Having 'lost' 16Mbps download,.. something would seem to be Off,...
                          .... off to order MT992....

                            @diyhouse MT992 order,.. brand new one!!,.. just no power block,..
                            But have spare for old one if required,.. and I supply it from a UPS anyway...
                            So should be good for a few years,.. of 24/7 running.
                            Thinking about it the HG612 must have been running for 3 or 4 yrs,.. solid,.. and it does sometimes run warm, especially during hot summers,.. like ATM in the UK.. 40C ambient in loft, (must find invoice to see how long),.. Hummm

                              Could also be your line conditions have deteriorated. The unlocked HG612 gives nice stats for that:

                              Screenshot from 2024-08-02 21-40-50.png

                              It really is a shame the MT992 is locked down. I'm sure all that data is in there.

                                Just covering the 'idiot guide question',.. supply requirements 12v @1amp,... I ASSUME,... centre pin is plus,.. and barrel outer is -Ve... as per normal convention,.. as it does not state on MT992...

                                  Yup I assume so. I used the same battery backup unit I was using with the HG612. (So, yes, it must be!)

                                    @stephenw10 Hi Stephen,.. well MT992 installed... and although speed test seems to have some improvements ( but this could just be time of day etc ), ..'uptime' on the other hand does not seem to be much better,... as my 1st disconnect occurred 50mins after 1st boot and connect of modem,.. logs as follows

                                    I see at 13:59:51 connection is lost,.. but how do I see what caused the the event...?

                                            Huh that's interesting. I wonder if it's counting those 5 alerts as enough to reconnect even though they are not consecutive. 🤔

                                            Though it doesn't show the LCP: peer not responding to echo requests message that would normally indicate it being triggered. And the value there should be a max time of 60s which would never be reached.

                                            No you should not need any settings in the advanced options.

                                            If you look in /var/etc/mpd_wan.conf you will see the generated conf file used to connect. It's possible to make a custom conf file by copying that to /conf and then editing it there. The mpd daemon will use a file there in preference.
