WAN drops connection (3-4 times a day) to R210 II & Verizon Fios

[bonymattw]

Hi everyone,

I'm in a challenging scenario. Recently I setup my pfsense on a bare metal R210 II with 4GB of ram and everything has been working great the first day. Today is the 4th day where I'm running into a major issue with DHCP IP renewing on WAN network and thereby dropping the Internet access until I reset/restart my WAN interface.

R210 II has 2 ports on the back (using 1 for WAN, LAN on the other)

• I believe they are Broadcom ports

I have seen a handful of posts here with similar issues but not quite the same.

What's happening?

• DHCP IP seems like it changes to a new lease I assume? (Home connection 100/100 speed)
• There is still connectivity on the fios line and its evident since soon as I reset the interface by logging in locally - I can see the DHCP new ip and voila I'm back online!

challenge is

• I notice this while I'm away and my wife is already texting me about it. :)

What can be done guys?

Here is a Screenshot of my WAN preset section

I did try choosing "clear"& "pfsense default" - doesn't help.

Here is the Gateway LOG below:
