Gateway Group Not Working as Expected

I recently added a second ISP to my OPNsense router. I added a new WAN interface and added it as a gateway. I set up monitoring on each gateway interface as well. I set my primary WAN1 (preferred ISP as 254 priority) and my secondary WAN2 (metered ISP as 255 priority). I setup a gateway group called 'WAN FAILOVER' and set the Tier 1 and Tier 2 as WAN1 and WAN2.

All this appears to allow the system to fail over to WAN2 during a WAN1 outage. It also restores back to WAN1 once it becomes available again.


However, when I change my gateway on each networks inbound firewall rule to 'WAN FAILOVER' from 'default'. I loose access to everything - even LAN resources. Not sure what the group even does here if the default does the failing over anyway....


My end goal is to have some networks fail over and some that do not, so I was assuming I could have 2 gateway groups. 1 called 'WAN FAILOVER' and 1 called 'WAN1 ONLY' and assign those as needed.

I have 3 networks (wireless, wired, IoT) the goal is to allow the wireless and wired networks to fail over to WAN2 when WAN1 fails, but the IoT network does not fail over and looses internet during a WAN1 outage.


What am I missing with the gateway groups and the firewall rules? I feel like I am close, but missing something.

Max 705 Brain Dead Over Night

I purchased a Max 705 in December of 2025 to replace my aging Roomba.

It has been working fine for the first 5ish months. But recently it became worthless.

It started with it not finishing the routine. It would stop halfway though, go home and call it done. Recently it wouldn't even start the routine - didn't even error. If I manually start it, it would move 2 feet from the base and say it got stuck.

Today it told me it now has an incompatible map and I would need to delete it and remap my house. So I deleted the map and initiated a new mapping (explore). The Roomba went about 5 feet from base, turned around and started smashing into everything trying to redock and ended up stuck. I tried remapping a few times and gave up, clearly something is off.

I am perplexed how everything could just stop working. There have been no changes in the past 5 months. My Roombas are set it and forget it. I didn't even open the app for 3 months because it just worked...

What can I do to resolve this? Presently my 6 month old vacuum is a paperweight.

How do I get actual support?

I have had service (in MN on Intrepid) since November of last year - so we are going on 6.5 months. So far I have had 3 outages in that time, all caused by their 3rd party technicians poor workmanship. I firmly believe all my issues would be resolved if they used fusion splicing vs just mechanical push on terminations. In several cases I needed to use Google Translate to even communicate with the technicians.

  1. Right after install the cable was laid across the ground and within 1 week the connector out at the underground splice box failed.

  2. When they came back in the spring to dig in the fiber line, the technicians pulled the line hard enough and broke the termination in the box on the side of the house. If I wasn't home (the said I didn't need to be home several times in the pre-call) and tell them they broke it, the would have walked away with it broken.

  3. Just yesterday someone from T-Mobile came out and did some work (unrelated to me) in the box at the street and now the internet doesn't work. I didn't realize until after they had left as I was out mowing the lawn.

For the first 2 issues it was a fairly easy process. I called, setup and appointment and had a tech come out. In some cases it was several days, which is a bummer, but at least I was on the books. For this most recent outage I called and they are unable to create an appointment because their system won't let them. They have to escalate it and then wait 3 days for a level 2 technician to call me back to then schedule an appointment.

Who can I call to get some actual traction on this? I love the service, especially as the only issues I have experienced are not network related, but installer related. I had Comcast for 6 years prior and never had a single outage. I work from home full time and no having internet means I am unable to work.

I am at the point where I don't trust my internet, nor do I trust that it can be fixed in a timely manner should it go out.

Update from 7.2.4 to 7.2.6 created high Docker image utilization.

I have had the same containers running with the same configuration for months and months. Over 1 month on 7.2.4 and zero increase in image utilization. Yesterday I updated in 7.2.6 and within a few hours I crossed 70% then 71% etc.

I went through and checked my mappings, and everything is correctly assigned to appdata (as expected).

Where else do I look to trace down what changed?

EDIT:

I ran the docker size command in the GUI and the total for the container, writable and logs is 35GB. My docker image is 70GB. I am even more confused.
