I have a pfSense router with DYNDNS running to allow a website and other services on our network. If the WAN side of the router is assigned the 192.168.100.10 address from the CM1100 modem, how will this properly resolve? It is my understanding that I need the IP address from my provider to get to the router to get properly reported to DYNDNS.

The device you have connected on the CM modem should get a ##.##.###.### address. It won't get a 192.168.100.1 address. That is already hard coded to the CM modem. The modem will pass thru the public IP address after a router or firewall is connected. Be sure to contact the mfr of your router or firewall for help and information on connecting, setup and configuration of the device with a modem.
