Thank you for the detailed post.
For clarity, "The first I would suggest would be to set the IPPT MAC address of the PFSense WAN port manually" I assume means copy the IPPT MAC from the IG ui, then paste it into the "MAC Address" setting of the pfSense WAN interface configuration? (The subtext of ...

Router Locking Up
I've been having ongoing issues with my network, which seems to be related to the invisagig or the cell network. If you scroll to the last few posts in the following forum thread it appears that the modem is handing out DHCP leases when the modem loses it signal causing my LAN devices to lose ...

Re: Router Locking Up
Sure. I'm going to give it a few days, at least through the weekend. Previously I've thought I'd solved it only to have the issue start back up a few days later. This time though, I'm a lot more optimistic.

Re: Router Locking Up
IG gateway has been using 8.8.8.8 as monitoring IP. I have tried other DNS (like, 1.1.1.1 & 9.9.9.9) & disabled montoring also, but I honestly can't remember if that was before or after making the other changes you suggested. I just disabled monitoring & we'll see what happens.... crossing fingers.

Re: Router Locking Up
OK. I haven't had any issues since disabling monitoring on the IG gateway but not ready to declare success just yet.

Re: Router Locking Up
As you suggested around Feb 28, I manually configured the IPPT that day. And, later, I did try changing the monitoring IP to ping the IG ip address. Just for clarity, I changed that IP from 192.168.225.1 to 192.168.5.1. I don't know if it matters, but when I set-up a static route or VIP, I am able ...

Re: Router Locking Up
An update: I had to go out of town, so I wrote a sh script in pfSense router to ping LAN IPs of several devices that should be online. If no response, reboot. If OK, then ping internet servers. If no reponse, cycle the WAN gateway on/off. The evening before I was leaving, the network went down, the ...
