      Hello, noob to pfsense and having more trouble than I expected. Some context, I have been using commercial grade equipment for as long as I can remember and am finally trying to up my knowledge about networking.

      I have recently aquired some equipment:
      1x Motorola MB7621 cable modem
      1x netgate sg1100
      1x unifi 8 port switch
      1x nano hd

      After watching a bunch of initial configuration videos, I thought it would be easy plug and play to at least get out to the internet, but I may have been out of my depth a bit.

      Set up for now is:
      Mb7621 <- sg 1100 connected to modem by wan <-client plugged into lan of sg 1100

      *On dashboard, wan showing public ip address 172.x.x.x
      *Lan ip 10.x.x.x
      *All default rules
      *Set DNS servers 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 with wan DHCP as gateway
      *Have factory reset both modem & firewall with no luck
      ***wan says up but wan DHCP at gateway diagnostics says offline

      I'll try to supply more pictures and whatever else may be needed when I get home. Thanks!

        I have always found the installation quite straightforward. Here are the instructions:
