Netgear 6100d with pfsense
-
I have a netgear 6100d and am looking to use it for wan failover with my pfsense box. The netgear 6100d is a lte modem/router with ip passthrough. I have it setup to passthrough to my pfsense box, but I cant seem to get an ip on pfsense. I configured the lte nic on pfsense with DHCP. Is there a special mode I need to use? Netgear's documentation isn't very helpful, and I can't find anyone with this setup already.

Is this a hybrid router with capabilities for the load balancing and/or fail over? Then you could try out to get the best
or most out of that unit together with pfSense, to build a router cascade or dual homed bastion host.Netgear Router
