        So what would be the best fix…having isp enable wifi so I can log in and put it into bridge mode, or setting up everything from pfsence to devices with static ip?

        Modem/router is arris dg1670

            Ahh  Aris you must also turn off its firewall, Aris does not have bridgemode option you must turn off everything manually. disable NAT,DHCP,FIREWALL and Wifi

              virgin superhub has the same function. but its called modem mode. on the super hub the normal web gui is located at 192.168.0.1 when its placed into modem mode this changes to 192.168.100.1 however if you was to log into the pfsense gui it will show an external ip address not a internal ip on the wan connection. hope this helps.

                I'm unable to log into it to adjust any settings…is this because they disabled the wifi? I'm attempting to log in wired not wirelessly

                Thank you for your help

                  https://www.manualslib.com/manual/843019/Arris-Touchstone-Dg1670.html?page=22#manual

                  default user name is admin
                  default password is password

                  if they have changed it you may need to reset it to factory

                        Ok so I did a little more research and you can log into the modem while in bridge mode. It's 192.168.100.1

                        Under basic setup I disabled routing and wireless

                        Under firewall, firewall dos attack protection block pings and block fragmented packets are all disabled

                        Under lan settings dhcp server dns override and dns relay are disabled and put nat into bridge mode

                        Tested speed and its still not where it should be, it ranges anywhere from 12- a little under 30

                        I found a video on YouTube that also goes into wan settings and disables dhcp, when I tried to disable it pops up with a "please set static up first", is my next step to set up a static ip?

                        If yes can I copy/paste the ip subnet and gateway over to the static options, and also what goes into the primary secondary and tertiary DNS server ip domain name and Mtu size….currently everything is all 0's except domain name and mtu size

                          Does your ISP offer you a static IP ? I do not see where this comes to play. What port number are you using on your Aris? try other lan ports
