              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.  :'(

                      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.
