!I'm a home user, wanting wifi and wired connections for ADSL or FTTC, and I want dualband WiFi range for online high resolution gaming, video streaming and high resolution audio
!I have my own routerboard or similar router with ADSL

In bridge mode, your router can then talk PPPoE to it.

!I'd like to do bonding with ADSL/FTTC/FTTP

Use alongside a T20B or Vigor 130 (any compatible modem)

G.Fast and FTTP is a slightly different set-up. Please ask support for more info.
 
You can always use your own equipment, that's fine too!
