      I would stick with the modem you have unless you're seeing some issue with the connection that can tie to a modem issue specifically. I would stay with it for a while anyway just to make sure what issues there might be. There may be none.

        @stephenw10 Ok, I'll hold off for a while on that ideal. I'm attempting to set up ad guard, but it's not working on top clients. I see my pfSense box, but not all traffic is routed through just that IP, which should be 10.0.10.1, and where it says "top clients," it shows different addresses on the network. How do I make them go away and only have 10.0.10.1? the last time I had this going a friend helped me but I wasn't paying any attention I remember him using DNS forwarder and DNS Server Settings and the DHCP server side under Servers

          @lawrence1986 I got AdGuard working as well. It took some trial and error, but it's working none the less. I also bought a 20$ thin client as well, because right now AdGuard is on my unraid server, and if my server goes down, so does my AdGuard/internet

            I've never used Adguard so I can;t comment on the specifics there but if it's just DNS filetering then I'd expect to just set the DNS resolver in pfSense to forwarding mode and enter the Adguard IP in Sys > General Setup. Of course that will filter queries from pfSense itself too.
            I just use pfBlocker on pfSense itself to do that.
