Ticket Subject: Pfsense randomly stopped working
Problem Category: Other
Detailed Problem Description: 1. This morning my router firewall randomly stopped working for no apparent reasons
2. I got internet back when I reinstalled my ISP router/firewall
3. I tried to connect the wan port of the firewall where pfsense is running to an ethernet port of the BT router and still I was not able to access the GUI.
4. I suspect that the issue is with the PPPoE but there is no information on how to change the config from the console.
5. I factory rest and reinstalled the configuration backups. No changes.
The WAN port of the router was flashing green on one side and orange on the other side. Potentially a half duplex issue, but I wouldn't expect it to kill the whole home network
6. I am running out of ideas. Can you please help. Happy to share any details you may need.

Were you still able to connect to the LAN side of pfSense? Open the webgui?
Were you able to connect to the console? What did/does that show for the interfaces?
Is it even booted correctly?
If you have pfSense configured with a PPPoE WAN then it won't connect to another router without switching that to DHCP.
