Steve is correct, you should replace the battery or replace the hardware. An improper time at boot can cause any number of “wonky” things, but also opens up some VERY nasty security attacks that revolve around timing. It is difficult and time consuming to get a system out of time with NTP

There may be a way to do it via dns, but why wouldn’t you use something like haproxy? You can use a single node instance to do it. I mention it because many devices have a very simple and/or old network stack that may not play as nice as a more full featured network stack. If they are all

I have both Cox fiber and CL fiber running into my firewall. Cox gets slightly better download scores on average from the iperf3 server we maintain in our DC. 910Mb/s Cox to 880Mb/s CL. That could be the PPPoE overhead when having to adjust the MTU, and you need to adjust the MTU down for best

Some boards have 2 fans for CPU - especially boards designed for overclocking. The face that you don't have any voltage/RPMs across the fan3 may not be a problem. The only way you are going to be sure to tell it is a power supply is generally to replace it. You could replace CPU, memory, or board

Re: PfSense + ubiquity

Putting a CL modem into a bridge mode where it only handles the PPPoE connection is simply checking a radial select button and hitting apply. If your firewall supports PPoE, even better, as you no longer need their Modem and router in the mix. But, that is just my experience, and it is limited. I

Will Cox allow for a bridge/virtual bridge mode? Xfinity does, which allows you to put in a firewall, and use the modem only as a gateway, therefore preventing a double NAT situation. Never lived in a Cox area before, and currently ride CL fiber. Mac Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss wrote on

I can help - but I am unavailable to do so until tomorrow. Make sure there are not any thing other than default VLANs on the interfaces to start with. Ubiquiti is famous for not havinght eSFP+ ports active in the default configuration, and I believe the switch has all the ports to shutdown on
