TP-Link TDW9970
It´s not a modem, its a router doing SPI/NAT! So you can walk now two different ways to solve it out.
1. Let the router being a router and do the following;- Turn out the DHCP server at the TP-Link
- set on the pfSense firewall at the WAN a static IP address from the local net of the TP-Link let us say 192.168.1.10/24
and set up as the DNS server the IP address of the TP-Link router let us imagine that is 192.168.1.1/24 - turn on the DHCP Server on the pfSense firewall and then set up the LAN part on the pfSense firewall
2. Set the router into the "bridge mode" acting as a pure modem
- Set up the WAN at the pfSense firewall as DHCP and PPPoE if needed
- Set up at the pfSense firewall the ISPs DNS server the one from Google
- Set up the LAN part on pfSense and turn on the DHCP server there if needed or wanted

TPG fttn requires vlans and a higher mtu than standard - its fiddly.
