      I tried this in the cmd prompt:

      Error updating repositories!

      Internet in general is fine so I don't think it's a DNS issue. Any ideas?

        @DaveWh OK, It's definitely a DNS issue with the router itself. I restored an older config and the update engine can find things OK. So, now to dig...

          Try running: pkg-static -d update and see what error(s) are shown.

            @stephenw10 As noted, I managed to repair by restoring a backup config. I couldn't determine from the diffs between the working config and failing config what was wrong. However, all seems well now.

            I ran your command and the output shows no networking errors, but rather several HTTP 404 errors. I can't put the complete output here because it's being flagged as spam. However, it ends with apparent success:

            pfSense-core repository is up to date.
            Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
            DBG(1)[5856]> PkgRepo: verifying update for pfSense
            Waiting for another process to update repository pfSense
            All repositories are up to date.

              Actual 404 errors? Not 304 errors, which are expected?

                    Ok that's expected with the currently repo setup. That file doesn't exist in 24.03 and shouldn't cause a problem.
