WAN Package Loss
-
So I hope this will be the last update I will have to write. After a long call with the tech support of our provider I ask for the permission to plug the wan directly in the pfsense. I never liked FritzBoxes and this case gives me one more reason to never buy one again. Since 4 days no more problems! I set the PPPoE connection up in the pfsense, set up the MTU size and vlan and everything just works. I don't know what the FritzBox did, that the connection between the pfSense and the FritzBox got so laggy but I would definetly say it's the FritzBox fault. Someone yesterday also told me it could have been the MTU size. But sadly FritzBoxes don't offer settings for that and I also tried setting the MTU to about 1300 3 weeks ago and it didn't help. So I think this is an issue that will never be solved but honestly I don't care anymore.
I don't expect any more problems the next days so I hope I won't have to write again here.
Also I can't explain why the FritzBox worked with the 3100, which was the reason why we tought the FritzBox couldn't be the cause. Seems I was wrong.
Thanks for all your help! -
Nice result! That's a much nicer setup too.

@stephenw10 Yes it is indeed. I hate to do something like double NAT with static routes. The next time a provider tries to force me to use a FritzBox I won't sign a contract with them :-)
