Using pfsense with OpenReach modem

[Benm07]

Hi,
I plan to setup pfsense at home.

My setup is looking like openreach modem > pfsense > bt business hub 5 as an AP & unmanaged switch for Ethernet connections

Is there anything else needed to get this working? Or will this even work?

I'm new to all this, so any help will be appreciated greatly.
Thanks

Yes, it should work assuming that you have two interfaces in the computer running pfSense software, one for WAN (Openreach pppoe) and one for LAN (BT Hub).

I have never tried a BT Hub without the DSL plugged into it but I am using other wireless routers as access points successfully. I would tape over the BT Hub DSL port and make a note for others that this port is redundant because you are using the Openreach modem instead.
