I have a 4g modem I need to re-purpose it as a wireless access point if possible. Will be connecting to a switch which is connected to a Pfsense firewall.

Obviously, have disabled DHCP, firewall etc etc.

There is no dedicated "bridge" mode for when using ethernet, there is a mode when using the cellular but nothing for if wanting to use as ethernet.

Do I connect my switch to the LAN or WAN port? Or both - lol as no way to access webui if using wan unless enable remote login.

Sorry if obvious, I think LAN but not entirely sure as some odd packet behaviour but maybe just not intended for this use.

Thanks.
