First off, I appreciate any help you guys can give. My ISPs router has been failing for two weeks, dropping to 100mbs when it should be 1000mbs. A reset fixes it for now, but its daily.
So I built a router and loaded PFSense, but the only way I can get the WAN on my diy router to connect to the internet is to run network from my ISPs router to my router. Not ideal. I have used the GUI on the ISPs router to copy settings for the fiber internet and applied them in PFSense, but alas, it doesn't connect to the net.

Any PFSense or network masters out there able to lend a hand or send me in the correct direction?

Thanks

Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
Depending on your isp and even then location and speed tier can change how you connect a lot.

look for pppoe settings and lookup MAC address spoofing.

you might also need to tag a specific vlan. Im
A bit busy and on my phone so I can’t go too deep. But those should get you in the right direction.
