Achieving optimal upload, and download speed from your TELUS connection
After much research into this matter, I would like to offer my 2 cents worth on achieving the optimal Up/Dl speeds with the various currently offered packages, and hardware from TELUS. The mai...
I have gigabit fibre and a technicolor NAH with a couple of WiFi 6 boosters and Optik PVR/STBs. I'm using it in bridge mode with no problems. I've never heard that you can't use Optik with port 1 bridged. That sounds wrong to me.
If you search elsewhere, you should find various posts about using the Telus SFP+ module in other devices. Here is one reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/telus/comments/1d366hl/telus_fibre_direct_to_ubiquiti_udm_se_sfp/. There was a detailed post about this on DSLReports, but it's currently only operating for 5 minutes every hour. No idea if it will ever come back.
That’s what I was doing previously but I couldn’t find anything about higher speed deployments that come with the NAH instead of that little white AIO device from that Reddit post. The installation in that post is was what was just removed from my home today. It came with a gigabit SFP that I was using, and still have. Deployments above 1g are not using the same standard or core equipment from the road to my apartment from what I can dig up. I know the installer replaced something at the road. I only have a gigabit sfp to copper and it doesn’t support sfp+ so I can’t test it yet. It seems like my end goal is pretty atypical (at least as of today) so info is sparse on what exactly has been done by the installer. When I used the gigabit sfp into my media converter (configuration I used for multiple years until this change) the router refuses to grab DHCP info from TELUS which makes me think it may not allow a device that is not registered in the system. The thing I’m not sure of is if it’s the SFP module or the NAH that needs to be involved in obtaining the lease, I’m suspecting the NAH may be necessary. I figure I’ll just send and see what happens, the worst case is I need to feed my WAN from the 10g rj45 and convert that to SFP+ for the dream machine.
