Just got a Frontier Fiber business account that has 5 static IPs. The tech wired it from ONT to in-house Sagemcom FAST5290 router using existing coax. I'm having a lot of trouble provisioning out the static IPs from there to my internal equipment. It seems like the IPs are not really provisioned thru to the Sagemcom although Frontier says they are. On top of it, I cannot find a manual for the FAST5290 anywhere, including Sagemcom's site.
So question - can I replace the Sagemcom with an Actiontec Moca adapter and run the ethernet end to an OPNSense box? From there I'd try to set up my internal boxes that are to get these IPs. I know very little of what I'm doing with the OPNSense but unlike the Sagemcom router there is a ton of info out there for OPNSense (or pfSense). I see a couple of login type things in the Sagemcom setup that makes me think it would not be a direct replacement. For instance there is a login under IPv4 setup with cpe_bootstrap@frontier.com as the user and a password (starred out of course) as well as a MoCA Password under MoCa WAN advanced tab. Thinking both of these are likely critical for the current setup to talk to the ONT which a replacement adapter won't have.
Thank you!
