PPPoE Goes Down Frequenctly

moelharrak

Hi,
I have pfsense 2.4.5 installed on Zotac Zbox CI3450 nano (CPU Intel Processor N3450 quad core 1.1 GHZ) , the WAN interface is configured as PPPoE, the issue that I have is that the WAN Interface goes Down frequently and it doesn't come back alone , I need to reboot the zotac each time the issue happen.
Any Idea why?

Crappy Realtek NIC maybe? Anything interesting in the Logs?
Did you try another driver?

Check if that matches your box/NIC: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/133536/official-realtek-driver-v1-95-binary

Thank you for your answer,
No I don't see anything interesting in logs.
I heard a lot about Realtek NIC issue but not sure about what is the issue and what to do

what to do

Use another non-Realtek NIC or try another driver.
