Directly connect ethernet to Nokia 7368 isam g-240g-a ONT
Hi everyone, Based on the SN, I have a Nokia 7368 isam g-240g-a ONT, just like the one pictured in this post: https://forum.telus.com/t5/Internet-Home-Phone/ONT-vs-Modem/m-p/92226 I currently ha...
940mbps is not 9.4MB/s. The transfer rate should be about 110MB/s if it's at full speed. Using a mesh system could slow the overall transfer speed depending if your PC is plugged into the one connected to the ONT or one of the other M5s.
Put the T3200M on the ONT instead of the M5 and then test your download speeds on your PC when it's connected by ethernet. 8-10MB/s is not fast for Steam downloads. I'm on the same gigabit plan and I get far higher speeds when downloading from Steam or from other sources. If the M5s can be set to act as wireless access points instead of as a router, they can also be connected to the T3200M.
As I have said before, plugging your PC directly to the ONT is not recommended. If you aren't that familiar with networking, I would say never connect your PC directly to the ONT.
UPDATE: the data port mystery is solved. The LEDs on the top of the ONT are in reverse order from the ports on the bottom, which is mind-bogglingly bad design (see attached photo). You can disregard my first question entirely.
If you're still willing, I would like to know what you think about my other question.
After doing a bit more research, it looks like my plan should deliver 940 Mbps, which converts to roughly 9.4 MB/s, so I guess I'm getting close to max speeds from the PC plugged into the M5's ethernet port. I have a Telus modem as well, but I'm not currently using it (see attached photo). Do you think there is any benefit to plugging this into one of the DATA ports and giving the PC it's own connection?
