      The internett stopped working again... I tried to ping the ISP GW from a computer on the LAN, noe replay...

      I tried to disable WAN network and then enable again, and then the internett started working again...

      Next time will I try to ping from the pfsense GUI and see if I got replay.... hopefully will the test isolate it to the WAN network card... driver issue ?

        Well, you could try the two things I suggested that you try. I didn't type them out for nothing ☺

            Dpinger is what does the gateway monitoring. If it is having a problem for whatever reason, then the system will believe that your WAN is going up & down like a piston and take action accordingly.

              @KOM I understand,

              I have not had any have problem after I disabled "Disable Gateway Monitoring Action".
              Thinks looking good, waith and see some hours... and see if its stable...

              Need to investigate further? I only have one GW so, I don't have any benefits detect if it's down or not?

                Even with only one gateway, which is the norm, it tells you how stable your link is. You would use that knowledge when trying to troubleshoot a problem you might be having.

                  Do think its the ISP who make problems for me since I`m pining it 1 time per second?
                  Or is it something else ?

                    I have no idea. I have seen a small minority of people over the years here whose Internet connections or ISPs have a problem with dpinger and it makes their connections flap like shutters on a windy day. The vast majority have no issues. I've been using pfSense for 6+ years over many different releases and I've never had an issue.

                      The issue was coming back so now have I tested to have "Gateway Monitoring" disabled and not "Gateway Action" and the problem have been present.

                      Before I try to disable both, have I tried to set the WAN card to 100mbit instead of 1000mbit, and the problem have now accour.... ("Gateway Monitoring" and "Gateway Action" is not disabled), but the problem was coming back.

                      Have now tried to disable both "Gateway Monitoring" and "Gateway Action", cross my fingers :)

                      See screenshoot, confirm the GW to be detected down...

                          I don't really have anything else to add other than that you can upload images here directly without having to link to some hosting site like Imgur. Just use the Upload Image button in the Edit bar when you're making a comment.
