Another "Why am I not getting 1.5 Gig speed?" question
Hi awesome internet friends. Just accepted increase to 1.5 Gig service, and agent said that he verified my equipment and no changes would be necessary for me to get the new speed. (Which, I shou...

You are indeed correct... The T3200M is equipped with a 1Gbps WAN port and 4x 1gbps LAN ports. Now at very best you can theoretically receive 1.25Gbps throughput on the WAN port in a lab setting, however you are very correct that the best single connection on this type of hardware and connecting will be a max of 940Mbps.
Now, if your Telus connection is provisioned at 1.5gbps, you may if all the additional hardware is capable of the speed achieve the advertised throughput utilizing the current offerings from Telus of either the Arcadyan NH20A Router, or the less utilized Nokia XS-250X-A (Seems to reserved for business installations)
I would contact Telus and see if they would be willing to upgrade your supplied hardware... Cheers...

What he will do is install you GPON module that is currently in T3200M into your new NH20A. he'll release the original provisioning from Telus. Boot your new NH20A up, this may take 5 minutes or so, could be due to some of the devices need an auto firmware update.
Then have him log into the new NH20A firmware, and bridge the 10Gbps port. Now the first time we looked for that toggle it didn't show up. So we bridged all the ports, rebooted the device. Now at the point we did get internet, however, it was a double NAT IP address to my Ubiquiti Router.
So, back into the NH20A interface, back to where you set the bridge mode and low and behold, this time there was a toggle for the 10Gbps port to be bridged. that what we did, then rebooted the device again. It all worked perfectly from there.
You'll just need a RJ45 cable to connect your TPLink AX6000 WAN port to the purple 10Gbps port on the NH20A and you should be golden. Now it did take a few hours for my connection to stabilize an increase to that speed, however it will. The first couple of hours I saw 1,200Mbps down on average so I knew that the 1.5Gbps was working, however, as my installer said give it a little time and that really paid off.
hope this helps... Cheers...
