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

              That would have been my next request ๐Ÿ˜‰

                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!
