      What brand of wireless bridge radio do you have?

      This comment- "I've recently been having an issue that I'm struggling to figure out"

      Does this mean that it started to occur suddenly or from the first time you started using a VOIP service?

      I've had voip on this router over a year, it just started happening.

        Then ask your ISP if anything about your circuit has changed on their end. Just to cover your bases.

          Not really. It shows the link went down and then came back up after 3 seconds.

          I would still try to swap out re2 for a different NIC to verify the fault stays on the NIC.

          What is it actually connected to? Does that log anything?

          You might try adding a switch in between the WAN and whatever it's connected to. The link should never go down with that in place.

          I ordered a low profile bracket and when it comes I'll remove the 2 port realtek and replace with a 4 port Intel.

          I have tried swapping re1 for re2, but it never works. I tried it several times and for whatever reason re1 never works. I tired in the GUi and via command line. Now re1 works great through my failover WAN. I don't know why I can't reassign the interface. By that I mean get it to work. Pfsense says it is reassign, but it never assigns the static IP and doesn't work.

          The WAN is only connected to my modem/antenna. I run pingplotter and can see that the WAN drops as soon as I answer the phone call. Interestingly I've never had it drop if I let it ring more than once :)
