Does SFP Modules from Telus Support TP-Link Omada 5 Gig router?

Good Day;

You pose a very interesting question here.

First, I do not have a business connection here. I am currently connected as a residential 1Gbps consumer. That being said, I currently have a dual WAN configuration here.

I am connected directly to a dumb switch prior to either of my 3rd party routers. Those are connected via dedicated SFP modules and fiber cabling. I have nothing configured as far as VLAN’s. They are feed as DHCP connections, so I configured DDNS routing to my frontend.

Checking my configuration, seems that at least on the residential side we are configured as a /30 sub net, so I would conclude by that we are limited to 2 external IP addresses. I’m guessing on the business side they can configure the subnet as a /29 or perhaps a /28 in very rare cases. That aspect I have now real-world experience with.

I’m guessing on the 2.5Gbps side you may have to indeed leave the Arcadyan NH20A Router in place. Reasoning, not many dumb switches are 2.5Gbps native. As well, depending on the routers, again not many 2.5Gbps native at this time.

So, to overcome these problems, NH20A in bridge mode, out to the switch at 10Gbps native. In this case I’d use a cheap MikroTik switch. From the switch something like an Ubiquiti UDMPro, or UDMPro SE, perhaps a pfSense box ingesting at 10Gbps native, would in my opinion be the cleanest solution.

I am not aware of any switch or router for that matter that is currently compatible with the XGPON modules required for the PureFibre X. Of course, I can be corrected, if someone has additional information.
