@da_Beast yeh so I had to reinstall router with settings I had backed up. Had to do a request to get an offline installer as I have ppoe. Was abug in the old version I had . Recommend to reinstall and re flash firmware. Bit of a pain but working solid now.

@da_Beast plus, just contact support and they can generate a link to download offline installer for your hardware

@Billy_C has it ever worked? Did you upgrade or downgrade?

What version of CE are you running?

Is this on physical hardware or are you running a VM? If VM, what hypervisor?

@da_Beast
2.7.0-Release

Yes, maybe a year ago. Been a while since I looked but I have packages installed so it worked at some point.

Hardware. HP prebuilt 7700t

@Billy_C Looks like that is not a supported version anymore.

I would upgrade it to the latest 2.7.2 and see if that resolves your issue.

@Billy_C try https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/2-7-1.html#troubleshooting

Or

Don’t install packages unless you have the correct branch selected since it’ll cause problems.

Thanks for all the replies.

I ran the upgrade in the command line

pfSense-upgrade -y

and am on 2.7.2 now.

All packages seems to be populating again.
