      Hi there,

      just wondering if anyone knows anything about making a cable modem to use with a coaxial input from the ISP. Any Coaxial Modem Cards and does pfsense support this feature?

      any help would be greatly appreciated,

      Matt

          They used to make PCI cards but Ive not seen any in years.

          Not a good idea anyhow.  A good power bump over the coax and your router would be toast.

          Besides- the lights on the modem can be pretty important to see if your troubleshooting.
