              @DaddyGo I was gonna reset my ap(netgear router) and connect that directly to the modem and see what happens? What do you think?

                and connect that directly to the modem

                That would have been my next request 😉

                  that will take a little bit as I have to reset to take the router out of AP mode.
                  I will get back when its done.
                  BTW I really appreciate you walking me through this. Hopefully I get this sorted as I'm working from home and Its hard to work with this cutting out every so often.

                      @Raffi_ I change the cable. still got the same issue happening.

                      The cable modem is from optimum. There is no way I can access it.

                      I did not disable the gateway monitoring yet. Should I check both boxes?

                      Only check the second box, not the first one from my image.

                        @DaddyGo Sounds good I just connected and its losing connection like before. So PFsense is out of the equation. and the issue was from the wan side of PFsense. So If I'm a gambling man, I'd say its the modem or a line issue.

                        Enjoy your sons birthday!! I'll check in Tomorrow.

                          ok, I connected a Cable directly from the ground lug Coaxial connector from the cable company directly to my modem. BINGO!
                          Turns out it was a bad splitter in the crawlspace. I dont think I would have found this without it costing a service call without your guys help.
                          Very grateful!
