pfsense router Install

[JaymanHD]

Is there any way I could build my own router and install pfsense with at&t service? If there is can I get gigabit performance?

1) Yes you can create your own router and install pfsense

2) Depending on what service you pay for At&t should work fine with pfsense

3) Gigabit performance would be dependant upon the hardware of your router and the At&t service you are paying for. Pfsense can certainly administer networks using gigabit ethernet.

For more specific help with pfsense I suggest checking out their forums here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php

From my experience the users on the pfsense forums are extremely helpful with questions relating to custum builds.

Thank You! I know what hardware to use and stuff but the main thing I was concerned about was the gigabit connection to at&t. Is that even possible yet?

Not that I'm aware of, but I'm in the neck of the woods that is dominated by Comcast so I haven't checked At&t in awhile (pretty sure they don't though). As far as I know you're not getting Gigabit ethernet unless you have a local fiber ISP or Google Fiber has released in your area.

Ok I will see.
