Hey guys, last week I received notice that my modem firmware needed to be updated to support the vectoring rollout in my area. I believe it was going to roll out on the 14th. Anyway, I performed the update on Thursday of last week. A couple days ago I noticed my internet drops out all the time.
I'm using PFSense 2.3.3-RELEASE-p1 for my router with my Actiontec Q1000 in transparent bridge mode, on 40/20 VDSL. I had to reset the modem to perform the firmware update (since the webUI isn't useable in bridge mode) and then set it back to bridge.
In my PFSense logs I'm seeing "LCP: peer not responding to echo requests" and then the PPPoE connection is closed. Within a couple minutes it will reconnect. This can happen anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours apart. I contacted CenturyLink and they said they're not seeing any issues on the line and that I should replace my modem. As I own my modem, I'd rather not do this if it's not necessary.
My questions are thus: Are there any troubleshooting steps I could take? To me this sounds like either a line noise or modem issue, but I'm not super fluent in DSL.
Thanks!
