pfSense with AT&T fiber-- WAN keeps dropping offline
-
pfSense is only doing what it is told to do.
If you want less sensitivity to WAN alarms, increase the thresholds. If you don't want gateway monitoring at all, turn it off.
Personally, speaking for myself, I find 20% packet loss to be completely unacceptable and the circuit might as well be down.
If you only have one WAN, there is certainly no reason not to crank the thresholds up to 99 to avoid anything that might trigger a gateway event becuase with only one WAN you might as well be down. That way you keep a quality history in Status > Monitoring but don't trigger gateway events.

I doubt this was the cause of my problem. The modem would reboot constantly even with gateway monitoring disabled. -
Your modem rebooting constantly is something pfSense should fix?

No. As I posted, I don’t believe pfsense had anything to do with it.
