      After power outage at office today, lost pfSense router.

      Plugged into UPS with surge protection along with all other network gear.

      Router powers up, but stays on for only 4-5 mins before automatically turning off.

      Unable to access UI during this timeframe, unable to connect to router, no ip address issued to cumputer directly connected.

      Looking for advice / direction.

        What do you see on the console?

        Does it respond at all before powering off? Ping? SSH?

        I would guess at some sort of file system issue if it was powered off unexpectedly. The console error should show that though.

          Consile not accessible, even from direct connect USB.

          Sending it in for service.

          Thanks for reply.
