      Hello all,
      There was a power cut in my area at some point earlier in the day and since then I have been unable to connect to the internet. I'm unable to connect to my netgate device. Both the LAN and OPT ports that where working correctly before do not light up nor send/recieve anything. I've checked cables and swapped them out and restarted the device to see if any of that would help and it has not.

      The WAN does seem to be working and lights up when I connect it to my modem as normal.

      I'm unable to really troubleshoot anything without being able to connect to the device so I'm really not sure what to do. Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed.

      Cheers.

        @jwright Which device do you have/are running pfSense? If it’s a netgate device, connect to the console with a serialport terminal like “putty”.
        If it’s a homebuilt pfSense CE, connect a monitor and keyboard. Then you will know if it boots as expected or something catastrophic has happened.

        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)
