      I have the new network info and see the old connection primary interface and gateway but i am dealing with a virtual IP and VLANS. Any help appreciated and should be able to give any info requested. There is currently 2 WAN 1 LAN and 3 wireless interfaces. I only need to transition one of the WANS. my first attempt failed something about the virtual interface not having a gateway

        What happens on the WAN side has little to do with what happens on the LAN side. Assuming your connections use DHCP, everything should just work as before. However, if you used ISP specific addresses in any configuration those will have to be changed.

        A little more info about what's happening would be useful.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

            first thing you should do is update that pfsense... That is quite OLD.. and no longer supported.

                  All 10/100 NICs doesn't bode well....

                  You have at least two static IPs on that WAN .11 and .10. So you will need to change the interface IP, whatever VIPs you have in that subnet and the port forwards using that VIP.

                  You seem to have a printer that is open to anywhere on the internet there which is probably not what you intended. Or at least shouldn't be.
