      Hi Guys,

      I have been given a BT HomeHub v4.0 Type A

      I know BT Infinity uses PPPOE and the default Username: bthomehub@btbroadband.com password: (blank)

      What i am looking to do is setup a PPPOE server on my pfsence box then connecting that server to the HomeHub giving me a Wireless N 2.4ghz/5ghz limited access, access point for guests

      thanks

      Jay

        If I am understanding correctly, you basically want the pfsense box to be the modem and your homehub just to provide wifi?

        if so you just set one of your interfaces up as WAN, IP and DHCP, connection as PPPoE and username and password as you say.

        I have done that for my infinity without issue. Then you can setup one other interface on a separate VLAN and plug the WAN port of the homehub into that pfsense port. Place rules on the guest vlan to deny traffic to your other main interface, deny ports 22 and 443 (so they cant SSH or get to the router management pages) and allow other traffic. Theres plenty of tutorials on the subject just google "pfsense guest vlan"

        HTH.
