    @stephenw10 *** Welcome to Netgate pfSense 2.7.0-RELEASE (amd64) on plutonplanet***

    WAN (wan) ->re1 -> v4/DHCP4: 192.168.1.101/24, v6/DHCP6:
    LAN (lan) -> re0 -> v4: 192.168.1.1/24

      Ok so the WAN and LAN are still conflicting, both in 192.168.1.0/24.

      Use menu option 2 to change the LAN to 192.168.100.1/24 and correct the dhcp range for LAN. Then reconnect to the LAN to get a lease in the new subnet.

          Do this:

           WAN (wan)       -> em0        -> v4/DHCP4: 172.21.16.133/24
           LAN (lan)       -> vtnet1     -> v4: 192.168.184.1/24
          
           0) Logout (SSH only)                  9) pfTop
           1) Assign Interfaces                 10) Filter Logs
           2) Set interface(s) IP address       11) Restart webConfigurator
           3) Reset webConfigurator password    12) PHP shell + Netgate pfSense Plus tools
           4) Reset to factory defaults         13) Update from console
           5) Reboot system                     14) Disable Secure Shell (sshd)
           6) Halt system                       15) Restore recent configuration
           7) Ping host                         16) Restart PHP-FPM
           8) Shell
          
          Enter an option: 2
          
          Available interfaces:
          
          1 - WAN (em0 - dhcp, dhcp6)
          2 - LAN (vtnet1 - static)
          
          Enter the number of the interface you wish to configure: 2
          
          Enter the new LAN IPv4 address.  Press <ENTER> for none:
          > 192.168.100.1
          
          Subnet masks are entered as bit counts (as in CIDR notation) in Netgate pfSense Plus.
          e.g. 255.255.255.0 = 24
               255.255.0.0   = 16
               255.0.0.0     = 8
          
          Enter the new LAN IPv4 subnet bit count (1 to 32):
          > 24
          
          For a WAN, enter the new LAN IPv4 upstream gateway address.
          For a LAN, press <ENTER> for none:
          > 
          
          Enter the new LAN IPv6 address.  Press <ENTER> for none:
          > 
          
          Do you want to enable the DHCP server on LAN? (y/n) y
          Enter the start address of the IPv4 client address range: 192.168.100.10
          Enter the end address of the IPv4 client address range: 192.168.100.100
          Disabling IPv6 DHCPD...
          
          Do you want to revert to HTTP as the webConfigurator protocol? (y/n) n

            @stephenw10 if you agree i start with a reset to factory defaults.
            right after that i install realtek. after that i would like to do step by step.

              You just need to set the LAN to a different subnet. I'm not sure how you managed to install the Realtek pkg with conflicting subnets like that. You can start over if you want.

                      Ok great.

                      Use console menu option 7 to try to ping out from pfSense to 8.8.8.8. Then test to google.com

                      If either of those fail what error is shown?

                          Ok, great so pfSense cannot connect out.

                          So in the pfSense webgui check Status > Gateways.
                          I assume it shows 192.168.1.1 as the gateway?
                          Does it show the gateway as down?

                          Go to Diag > Routes.
                          Does it show a default route for IPv4?

                              @Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

                              192.168.1.xxx

                              That is a private IP address there is no need to obscure it.

                              @Spectrum said in Hardware driver:

                              LANGW gateway: 192.168.100.1 status suspended

                              You should not have a gateway on LAN. Go to Interfaces > LAN and remove it.

                                    Ok upstream gateway is correct.

                                    Go to System > Routing > Gateways.

                                    Make sure there is only WAN gateway. Remove a LAN gateway if it shows there.

                                        Does it show a default route for IPv4 via the WAN gateway?
