      I have testing environment with pfSense configured to perform NAT on both WAN1 and WAN2 interfaces, each of which obtains its IP address using DHCP.

      When testing like unplugging WAN1 it switches to WAN2 (usb to ethernet adapter) no problem but IP phone is not routing to WAN2 while other network devices are.

      When I reboot the phone or pfSense it still won't route via WAN2.
      IP Phone is Yealink SIP-T46U - 192.168.2.105. I am able to ping google IP but not host name from the phone.

        Any thoughts? I know it's not the phone configuration or providers ISP because I had the same issue at my last job with other phones. However, the same set up worked just fine on Sonicwalls.
