      Hello all,
      1st time posting, user since 2.3 with no issues. I recently upgraded my internet with spectrum to the gig service in SoCal. Ever since then I have experienced disconnects while gaming.

      Assuming it was my service provider, I had them out several times changed the modem, fix the lines and for the most part its better. What I am experiencing now which is representing the same, however ill get disconnected from the game and internet for a few minutes, internet speed drops to 80Mbps (from 800Mps) and the logs show issues on the WAN. A reboot of the modem will fix the issue but I wanted to better understand what errors the logs are indicating and see if I can address in Pfsense or if I have to go back to the service provider.

      I have been running a VPN but started a fresh install with nothing done to Pfsense and have continued to experience trouble.

      Below is system, connections is Spectum gig internet to hintron modem to pfsense system to ubiquity switch.

        What exact modem model do you have? That does seem similar to issues I've seen reported with some. Though I've yet to experience it myself.

            Hintron E31N2V1

            Hmm, well it's not on the list specifically and 30s of Googling shows positive reviews so maybe not that.
