    Hello Gentle folks.

    I’m having a problem. I think it may be signal related, but I’m not entire sure.
    Here’s the essential problem: I randomly stop connecting to the internet over my WAN (wireless).

    My pf sense computer is on my veranda – it gets WIFI from a neighbor. And shares It over a switch inside.
    This problem disappeared recently, but now it has come back.

    I DON’T loose connection to the router – the interface screen in pf sense shows that I’m associated whenever these internet dropouts happen, AND, it continues to show the GATEWAY / ISP DNS servers, as well as transfer rate (11MPBS, which is its max).

    When I was using windoze, with my current antenna setup, I would get 1-2 signal bars. Usually 2, but if not I would have 1 JUST EDGING towards 2, almost there –if you get what I mean.

    The RRD quality graph is currently showing some packet loss. I realize that this COULD be the problem, however, because in times past, when things were working better, I DIDN’T note the signal loss, I have nothing to compare, and thusly cannot conclude that these packet drops are the cause of my problem.

    Please assist.
    I’ll provide any information necessary.

    Thanks in advance.

      It seems that my questions/problems on here tent to be of the unanswerable breed..

      anywho - i've noticed that the above problem always coincides with something. And that is; OUT errors.

      whenever there's one of those, the internet drops out, and I have to release / renew once more ,to connect any program.

      Any Ideas anyone?
