I am no networking master, so I have no clue if this makes sense.
I have a DSL line from my internet provider with all the service details. Now, I have a TP-Link modem (+router) WD8961N. This is currently running in PPPoE mode. Works perfectly.
My question is this: say I want to use pfSense on an old PC. I have installed the new PCI cards for WiFi and Ethernet. To do that, if I switch the mode of my TP-Link modem to "Bridge", then connect the PC with the router using an ethernet cable and configure the PPPoE settings on my PC, will the internet work? As in, is the configuration correct if I want to use my PC as a WiFi router?
My understanding of the bridged mode is that it removes all of the PPP login stuff and tells the router connected to it to do that.
Am I right? Will this work? Any insight is appreciated?
