Pfsense Internet Drop

Hi, I am having problems with my firewall. We constantly experience drops in our internet connection. Somebody pointed out to me about a patch for Captive Portal since I am running them. But they are in a separate network. Here’s my logs:

Either your pfSense box is getting overloaded and/or having hiccups, or whatever it’s connected to.

Do you see any ethernet interface errors on either end?

I was thinking about that, but when I checked the utilization of my CPU is just 3%. Somebody from the netgate forum pointed out that it was a problem with 2.6.0 version and I’ve run the patch he mention but the problem hasn’t been solved.

I had a similar issue. Turned out to be a faulty patch cable between the modem and pfsense.

If It’s a DIY box, since 2.6 I had Realtek NICs fail super hard. Starts with high latency as soon as there is some notable traffic.

@vivante I am using an Intel NIC though but that’s my problem. I think I need somebody who can help me with the patch and how to do it.

@Onionman I could try that, but my cables are in a server cabinet and are cable managed to that. But I’d still give your solution a try.
