Community of fiber, mobile and ADSL usersI have the Movistar HGU next to a junction box where 4 Ethernet cables come out and reach various rooms in the house.In principle I would like to hide the HGU in the wall but it does not fit in the junction box and I am looking for solutions.Would it be possible to use the Huawei 8240 ONT so that it also works as a router?What I intend to do is plug in the ethernet cables and put an AP at the other end of one of these cables.I'd like all the devices connected to the AP's wifi and the ones connecting via the other ethernet cables to all be on the same subnet.It's possible?I very much doubt it.Each thing is for what it is, the ONT only translates fiber to ethernet and vice versa.Without a router behind it that creates a local network, it is impossible for you to connect more than one device to the ONT network, the first one to connect would take the public IP of your connection.In fact, from my own experience, I anticipate that using one of the LAN ports of the HGU as WAN and the rest as LAN is disastrous, the performance is very bad.Well, it seems not, the H8240H can only work as an ONT and not as a router.If you find an HG8245H, which is the same size except it has two antennas, maybe it will work for you.Although if you don't mind and you're not going to use Wi-Fi, you can always rip them out the rough way and gain some space.So the H8240H is only ONT while the HG8245H is ONT+router?In the WAN section you can modify the behavior: Bridge (ONT only) or Router (ONT+router).In the HG8240H this option does NOT appear, the ONT behavior is the default... although curiously they call it RouterBad idea... the performance as a router is painful no, the following.eu.store.ui.com/collections/operator-isp…/ufiber-wifieu.store.ui.com/collections/operator-isp…fi6-gpon-cpe=wifi63 ways to connect your own neutral router to your carrier's networkThe HG8240 (not H) does have the option in the interface to act as a router, although without AP, only ethernet, but it is not advisable for performance.Here I leave a tutorial as a curiosity.If the Huawei ONTs that work as routers do not have good performance, perhaps the alternative is one of the Ubiquiti devices that NexoT has mentioned.The first one is out of stock.I have seen the second one on Amazon and a comment says that it only works with Ubiquiti OLTs.Can someone confirm that it works with Movistar/O2?Thank you!I know that the ONT amazon.es/dp/B07JD7X81R can be configured as a router but I don't know what its performance will beThe problem is that in the junction box where the ONT would go, there are 4 Ethernet cables that provide connectivity to other rooms and I would like not to condemn them.I understand that the only option is that the ONT also works as a router and that it has 4 Ethernet ports.For this, you will have to put a small switch.One more question, do you have contracted TV?I don't have TV.I have read that Uniti products do not manage Movistar TV but for me it is not a problem.I see the option of putting the UFiber Nano G and a switch complicated due to space issues.I understand that with a UFiber GPON Wi-Fi Router I would have the same in less space.What is not clear to me is if UFiber GPON Wi-Fi Router works with Movistar/O2.Moderators |Standards |Legal information |We enter for affiliated purchases
