Intermittent Internet troubleshooting
-
i switched the WAN to pretty much every NIC i had. I just did a fresh install of 2.3 and everything is working for now but before it took sometimes minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes days to go down. have my fingers crossed. I was just hoping to get some trouble shooting techniques to try to figure WTF is happening. My kids are killing me with the internet going up and down all day long :)
-
Is 2.3 available now. I only see 2.2.6.
-
it is just a snap shot, not the full supported release.
-
back to screwed again.. Can't believe how unstable this is. I thought that 2.3 fixed the problem. Internet just goes down, only way to get it back up is a reboot. NOTHING in the logs at all. WTF can I do to fix this? I want to chuck the whole thing out the f'n window.

And your WAN is what: DHCP, PPPoE, static - all that connected to a switch/modem/router/… ?
-
wan is dhcp, connected directly to Nic. then Lan nic connected to small 5 port switch. haven't even got openVPN setup yet, trying to keep it very simple to get it stable.

You mentioned Netflix and video so understand this may be a total stab in the dark but check this post out.

Was there ever a solution to this problem? I'm experiencing the same thing.
-
honestly, I had Shaw come out to replace the modem but it was working pretty good before then. I am up and running fine now with the network card I thought was a problem. I honestly think the problem, at least for me was 2.3 and using dns resolver.
-
Glad to see you had a fix. I changed motherboard and still nothing. if I connect ISP to my PC everything works great. as soon as I put pfSense in the middle the problems start. :'(
-
ate you running 2.2.6?
-
2.3 would you recommend downgrading?
-
I'm no expert but it looks like there are some issues with it. it would rule it out. 2.2.6 is tried and true.
-
Well. Tried going down to 2.2.6 and no good. tried 2.2.3 still same thing. Tried 2 different Hardware and still same thing. but if I connect the ISP directly to the PC everything works fine. This is really frustrating.
