thats when i change over to my old router provided by plusnet works with wifi just fine then
That's not what I asked you to do.
FWIW, I rarely use WiFi for connections like these. I hardware EVERYTHING. I am lucky that I live in a ranch-style house with an unfinished basement. I have wires running through the basement to every room that needs a connection. The few things that are not wired are usually the mobile devices. But everything else, including my PS4 is hardwired.
The devices you're having problems with, are they all using WiFi? Or are any of them hardwired?

Here is ps4 with outbound nat rule in place

Do the following:
1 - Reset pfSense to default. Do a basic configuration (no changes to rules, adding packages, etc.; just enter basic settings to get it on the network). Configure for your PPPoE. Do nothing else.
2 - Reboot all of your network gear from the ISPs drop to your PS4.
3 - Test the PS4.The error is a login error. Did you try re-entering your login credentials?
-
yes and like i say it works fine with the plusnet router
-
And what speeds do you get with this other router?

Sounds very much like a WiFi issue, not a pfSense issue.

From the plusnet site looks like lowest broadband connection is 10mbps - your showing 1.5mbps - that is just HORRIBLE!!!
Pfsense doesn't block anything out of the box.. Nothing.. Pfsense doesn't care or even know if the traffic is wired or wireless... You have something wrong that is not pfsense related.
If pfsense broke playstation network connectivity... The forum would have a ddos from all the complaints ;)
But pfsense for sure can help you figure out what is going on... Do a sniff for your Playstations IP, set the packet limit to 0... Then sniff while you try and do your playstation test.. Then post up this pcap, and we can take a look see.

Ok will do it tonight when the internet aint in as much use
-
@davidserverguy2019 Hey
You can show the output of the command ifconfig -m ?
You can do this in Diagnostics / Command Prompt
And show more Diagnostics /Packet Capture - interface Lan and ip of Playstation host -
i will do the pack capture so on tonight and post off this evening
-
so why are you seeing 22mbps down and 2mbps up with the other router?
-
@johnpoz there is one idea , but I need to see the result of packet capture and ifconfig
-
its DM400 its rubbish in modem router mode not too bad in modem mode
-
Yeah really need to see a packet capture.. 17.5kbps up is means there is something major wrong if your seeing 2mbps normally.
That is 115X different..
-
i will do it this even also can a anyone recommend a good modem only to buy?
i am grateful for all you help guys
-
What hardware are you running pfSense on? Or did I miss that somewhere?
-
For what kind of connection? You would really need to use something that is ok'd by your ISP to be honest.
I have my own cable modem - but it is listed on their compatibility list, while something for sure could work that supports the technology your ISP is using.. If not on their approved list, and something isn't working they will just say its the modem..
