PPPoe connection via Wifi
My laptop only has a Wifi network connection. Should Windows 10 allow me to be able to establish a PPPoE connection? (I am trying to connect to a Zyxel VMG8924-B10A running in bridge mode.)

PPoE is no longer used for DSL service. You would need to set up Fallback if you want to use two different ISP's in case one fails. The other would be that you would need to set up load balancing to allow those machines that need more bandwidth to use a specific ISP that is faster. Bridging only allows you to use a machine to share the connection to others through wifi or ethernet (ie pfSense, Monowall).
All that you have to do is set the modem to do the PPPoE authentication and then it is a normal network connection. If you cannot do a PPPoE authentication, then you just create a PPPoE authentication session in Network Connections in Settings.
Using my W10 laptop, I found I could establish a PPPoE session to my modem (router in bridge mode) using Wifi. Creating a PPPoE connection in W10 was slightly strange as there was not an option to specify what hardware adapter to use.
