If your ISP is anything like this one, your modem will have NAT
translation built in, meaning that is likely your default gateway.

On your FBSD router, you never implied that it could/couldn't see the
Internet. I take it that if you put a PC into the modem and set it's
default gateway to 1.1 (the modem probably assigns this via DHCP
anyway), then you can get online.

If this is the case, then the secondary router is no use unless used as
a firewall. In that case, you wouldn't need to route, and you could just
set it up as an IP-less bridge firewall.
