Connection issues after updating to 22.7.7

[SleeperCell]

I have been getting alot of connection drops since updating to 22.7.7, now on 22.7.8.  I went to run a connection audit and get the following:

***GOT REQUEST TO AUDIT CONNECTIVITY***

My connection is fine when direct connecting to the modem, but as soon as I plug back into OPNSense the problems resume.  I was running pihole as well, fyi but that seems to have broken after this update as well so I've disabled it for the time being.  I would appreciate any insight that would help point me in the right direction to resolve this, thank you.

Only things I see is relatively high ping times and no IPv6. But mind you this is the firmware server connectivity check, not a "is my upstream connection bad in general " type of check...

So here's where Im at.  When I go to download a test file or stream something live, I watch the traffice monitor and every so often, like every 30-60 seconds the inbound traffic drops and flatlines very briefly and then comes back up again.  I'll be downloading at 60mb/s, and then it goes down to zero.  I reset opnsense to default settings and retried this test, and as best i can tell thoses issues do not happen.  So there is something in my current config that is causing this and im not really sure where to start in trying to diagnose this problem.  I hadn't changed anything in the last few months or so either, this all started after updating to 22.7.7.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
