I cannot access serial port console; earlier, it was working.
Nothing in a software update would affect that. Perhaps you have some change in the terminal setup. Or some hardware issue.

Pfsense IP address is 192.168.1.1, when I connect to wifi router which is configured as Access Point, cannot access pfsense management console, if I connect the ethernet, I do not see LAN icon. However I can access the management console when connecting laptop to Pfsense on LAN port.
That access point, what is its IP(v4) ? if it's also 192.168.1.1, then that would explain a lot.
-
@Gertjan Isn't 192.168.1.1 the management console IP?
-
pfSense uses as a default LAN the 192.168.1.1/24 network.
If your AP does the same thing (as many do) it also winds up using 192.168.1.1/24.
Then, when you hook up the AP to the pfSense LAN port, you have a fail.Solution : assign an IP like 192.168.1.2 to the AP (DNS and gateway should still be 192.168.1.1 = pfSense)

@stephenw10 Thanks, may be a cable issue. I'll check that

@sam422 been trying to solve a similar problem for about 2 weeks. finally turned off ipv6 on the WAN and was able to get pkg -d update update to work.
Was set to DHCPV6 and was working fine for ages but then everything stopped checking for update and couldnt update or remove packages.
-
@hulleyrob I'll try this, sure the upgrade screwed the router
-
@sam422 just rebooted and everything is now working normally again managed to update the system packages which being unable was how i knew there was a problem.
pkg -d update gave loads of similar warnings to this:
- Couldn't find host pfsense-plus-pkg00.atx.netgate.com in the .netrc file; using defaults
- Hostname pfsense-plus-pkg00.atx.netgate.com was found in DNS cache
- Trying 208.123.73.207:443...
- Connected to pfsense-plus-pkg00.atx.netgate.com (208.123.73.207) port 443
- ALPN: curl offers http/1.1
- CAfile: none
- CApath: /etc/ssl/certs/
- SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
- Closing connection
which is problem why the upgrade checker wasnt working and couldnt even remove a package.
disabling ipv6 on the wan seemed to fix it for some reason.

But IPv4 was used :

The issue is/was this : "SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate" .....
Not sure, but it won't hurt, if this helps :
certctl rehash -
@Gertjan it didnt but I did try it earlier on.
It was weird the only thing I have changed in months was adding DHCPv6 which is why I set it back to none. I guess it could have just been unrelated and fixed when it rebooted but I thought i should mention it as thats what I did.
