I use a separate firewall, pfSense, and proper access point. I have the modem configured for bridge mode. It's very easy to do. It's in the settings.
I guess I will find out eventually what their equipment consists of. I have read that a Nokia XS-020X-A ONT is involved in addition to rogers normally also providing a router/AP as well.
At least looking up one of the houses I know is occupied already in the development, rogers is offering up to 2.5Gbit symetric FTTH service for $125/month or something like that. Bell says they don't have info on service to that location at this time.
And I did find some posts from people that said they just connected their own firewall directly to the ONT set to DHCP and it just worked so hopefully it's that simple.
Greetings I'm in a similar situation - - - they're dragging in fiber out in the country. Its being worked on at this point so I'm not connected yet but soon I hope. Lennart - - - you're talking about connecting direct to your firewall (likely an appliance). I've acquired a mini pc (like the intel nucs), a second mini pc that I will be dropping likely pfsense (firewall) on and also a managed switch. I got this equipment idea from reading recommendations for businesses. Besides less equipment - - - - is there any other advantages to only running a firewall and then your home lan? TIA
