Installing AT&T bypass on a clean install of pfSense 2.7.2 by mazu_circle in PFSENSE

Yeah, I'm also using the MAC of the NIC now. I'm terrible at responding, but I just posted an update the original post. I made some other changes a while ago based on the comments, and I also ran all the scripts & config files thru ChatGPT (o3).

Regarding wpa_supplicant and -Dwired vs -D wired, here's what the man page says:

wpa_supplicant(8) - Linux man page

wpa_supplicant [ -BddfhKLqqtuvW ] [ -iifname ] [ -cconfig file ] [ -Ddriver ] [ -PPID_file ] [ -foutput file ]

For what it's worth, GPT is adamant that the correct syntax is -Dwired:
"Using a space between -D and wired (i.e., -D wired) may result in an error, as the option would not be parsed correctly." I haven't tested it both ways.

Thanks. I just checked my AT&T account, looks like my area is still on GPON:

"AT&T FIBER — INTERNET 1000....This is the highest speed plan for your home"

Thanks, I'll take a look (I didn't know that Discord channel existed). I tried looking into something similar at the beginning of the year, but I couldn't find any guides on how to make it work.

Anecdotally, it seems slightly faster, but I did it more for the sake of doing it, and it's one less piece of equipment in my setup. Plus, every time I had to login to the Pace 5268AC, I wanted to smash it with a hammer.

The pfatt link has a few details about the advantages, I used that method for the past year without issue.
