@NOYB:
Think you are in luck. I have done this dual router (pfSense and FiOS provided router) before. Here are a couple possible methods. I have successfully used both of them. It's a bit complex, but it can be done. Both methods outlined below require FiOS Ethernet service rather than MoCA (COAX). By the way is this for Verizon FiOS or Frontier FiOS?
Method 1: The most desirable (IMO)
Configure a switch as follows.
Port 8: PVID 99, Member VLAN 99, Un-Tagged; Member VLAN 98, Un-Tagged, connect to ISP WAN Ethernet
Port 7: PVID 98, Member VLAN 99, Un-Tagged, connect to FiOS router WAN port
Port 6: PVID 99, Member VLAN 99, Tagged, connect to pfSense WAN port
Ports 1-5: Default
(optionally 98 can instead be 99 also)
Method 2:
How Can I Run Multiple Parallel Routers

Use pfSense WAN DHCP Advanced configuration options to impersonate the FiOS router's DHCP. Also clone the MAC address so pfSence has the same MAC address as the FiOS router.
Does remote DVR work with both of these methods (granted I know I need to forward the correct ports)?
Also, for method 1, do I need a switch that supports VLAN Trunking? I bought a Dell PowerConnect 2716 switch, but I dont think it supports trunking. Can you confirm if this managed switch will work? Thanks!
