General Discussion / Consistently lose connection with fios setup
« on: July 17, 2024, 07:22:40 pm »
Hey folks!
I've been using a protectli VP2420 running the latest versions of opnsense on a Spectrum cable connection since May 2023 with rock solid performance. I recently moved and now have Verizon fios service.
I noticed that when booting the router, I get a WAN IP and service is perfectly fine for a few minutes and then connectivity just stops working. The dashboard shows it still has a WAN IP and the logs don't show anything, but I cannot ping or resolve anything from any device, including the router itself. If I refresh dhcp on the wan port or reboot the router, I get a connection again (sometimes with a different IP) but then it generally goes down again within 10-15 minutes.
To rule out an issue with the ONT, I plugged in my backup router which is an Asus AX88U and it works perfectly for days, so it definitely seems to be some issue between the protectli and the ONT.
My configuration is set such that IPv6 is disabled and I do not use IPS. I've seen some posts about fios wan drops and the general consensus seems to be that it's usually DHCP related, but I tried various DHCP tweaks with no success (using the FreeBSD dhcp settings, tuning ARP, etc).
Anyone have any ideas of what to try next? Thanks in advance!
