    I started getting choppy internet beyond i can use with all my IOT offline and wifi not working. upon looking ad pfsense dash i saw 1000's of alerts repeating every few minutes. that say this :
    There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:95: errors in queue definition - The line in question reads [95]: queue qLink on igc1 priority 2 qlimit 500 priq ( ecn , default )
    How do i fix this? I also printed the log with this pfctl -vf /tmp/rules.debug but where do i go from here?

      That's 3 different things.
      Afaik : the common factor might be : power ?
      If wifi (radio waves) don't work, check the AP, using 'scanning' to see if other APs are using the same channel (frequency), etc.
      IOT offline : if these are connected over radio (wifi) and not cable, the see suggestion above.
      If the IOT are wired : to access them, you don't need pfSense **.
      Choppy Internet : the WAN interface is identical as the LAN, so you could swap tyheir position to isolate a potential bad interface. if the interface is ok, go check the device where the pfSense WAN is connected to. Example : my WAN can't go down as I power both (ISP router and pfSense) with a double UPS, so even if my ISP goes down (like what they tested in Spain two days ago) my WAN will stay up. No Internet of course - that's logic..

      ** but pfSense will needed to hand over an initial DHCP lease = correct IP /network info, as without this info nothing will work.

      Start telling us how you've set up queues, limiters ?
      This file /tmp/rules.debug (the firewall rules) : line 93,95 95 and 96, what does it contain ?

      edit : no I think a bit more about this message, knowing that network queues is internal kernel stuff : if something goes bad, this will / might impact all interfaces ...

      What pfSense version ?

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??
