I have been working on a project to use a pfSense equipped appliance as a robust router behind a Verizon Gxxx router (bridged) with an Orbi RBE970 in AP mode delivering WIFI services.
Has anyone had experience doing this? I have seen what appears to be compatibility issues and would like to collaborate on specific configurations and best practices.

- Hi Chuck,
In early December, I switched to the OPNsense firewall and router, using AP 971 and 970. The limited QoS settings and noticeable buffer lag during conference calls prompted this change. I'm still fine-tuning the setup, but feel free to DM me anytime.
Edit.. using Comcast gateway in bridgeThanks! I will definitely take you up on this! Did you remove totally the verizon router or do you have it in bridge mode?
Will send you a PM asking you for details!
Appreciate it.
I've debated on setting up a pfsense setup but have only went so far as a pihole that I occasionally set to manage dhcp. To many times I'm testing systems and need the system managing everything.
- I have a network appliance running pfsense, a mini running pinhole for dns and dhcp, and orbi 971 in ap mode. Works great
Notice much difference using pfsense versus using the built in router features in the Orbi? I've got an old server that I'm looking at decommissioning and this might be a great time to play.
