The Gateway WAN_DHCP goes offline a number of times a day. I am new to Opnsense and need some help to troubleshoot and fix as the internet drops out. WAN comes back online either when I reboot Opnsense or both Draytek 167 and Opnsense, my setup:
ISP > Draytek 167 Modem Bridge Mode > OpnSense (Qotom i5-5250U), DHCP for the LAN and Ad Guard the rest stock settings.
If you have Realtek network cards in the Qotom, then install the vendor driver (os-realtek-re).
That fixed the problem for me.
Sounds like you are uk setup? Fttc. If so which ISP.

Hi, I have the Intel (R) Ethernet Controller I225-V
Also I have found a pattern when the power goes out and Qotom and Draytek Modem are rebooted the WAN_DHCP gateway IP gets set to the IP of Opnsense not public IP.

What do you mean by gateway getting set to the OPNSense IP?
I'm assuming what you mean is that the Draytek is handing you an IP instead of getting it from your ISP. You can configure the interface to ignore the Draytek DHCP server. That should help.
How are you finding the i225? Any other issues?
