WAN link does not recovering automatically after ISP connection restored
-
Static addresses sound wonderful, the cost for one is pretty awful here in Phoenix. Cox Cable charges $55 for dynamic and $239 for static at comparable speeds.
-
… and for most cable providers, a "static" IP is actually a persistent DHCP address. So, that does nothing to address the problem of pfsense very briefly getting an initial 192.168.100.x address from the cable modem before the network is ready and getting into this flaky state.

Hi Guys
I've been experiencing something similar, though I'm not sure if it is the same. My post is here:

Essentially what's happening is something is triggering my interfaces to kick out, and only a reboot of either the DSL modem or firewall bring them back. I do see the WAN gateway alarm where is cannot reach it, but that could be the chicken or the egg - did it go down because the interface died or did it go down first and then the firewall could not recover. I have DSL/pppoe.
