      @miguelgoncalves:

      At the moment my WAN interface has two VLANs (10 and 12). One is for Internet access and the other for IPTV. IPTV is distributed my IGMP so I had to use IGMP proxy. If someone is reading this in Portugal and is using Meo I will gladly share my full configuration. Just reply to this thread.

      Or someone in Germany having Entertain from the German Telekom (VDSL25/VDSL50). Difference is that here VLAN7 is used for internet traffic and VLAN8 for IPTV.

        Check you WAN speeds behind the ALIX box. I doubt you will see anything beyond 50Mbps. ALIX cannot handle higher throughput.

          Actually I usually see around 85 Mbps…

          I might buy new hardware in the future but I actually don't mind this cap.

              Yup, I get around 86mbps throughput with an ALIX on a 100mbps cable.

                    Hello,
                    I am from Portugal, oporto, and i found out about pfsense this week.
                    I have it running as a router on my meo m4o. Love it already!
                    Miguel could you be so kynd to tell me the settings for the iptv?
                    That way can completely remove the thomson router?
                    Many thanks
                    Plesae replay,

                              Hi, Miguel

                              I'm from Portugal too, could you share your configuration.

                              You are still using MEO router for the IPTV service correct?

                              Your are creating a bridge by disabling the PPOE from MEO router and authenticating in PFSense box correct ?

                              I'm also looking to connect directly to the ONT … I can manage that with Draytek router ... but of course I lose the IPTV service if I have one ...

                              If you need the VLAN settings for MEO fibra PM

                                        Hello Miguel,

                                        Are you still sharing your configs? I would be very happy if you could share them so I can properly configure my MEO network with pfSense.

                                        Thank you
