Eero Pro router with Nokia ONT
Hello, I've recently been advised in this forum that I could use a 3rd-party modem instead of the T3200. (The reason for the change is a rather complicated setup that still relies on an old coppe...
Its irrelevant if the hardware you plug the SFP into flat out doesn't support it.
I have used various switches, NIC's and routers with this exacts SFP for the past 3 years at different locations.
Disagree all you want but it is what it is, I don't see you with a working solution ATM so perhaps put the EGO aside and take some advice from people that actually have it running.
Would suggest you let google do some research for you. Many devices need hardware modification to work with this SFP ONT, some work out of the box, and others will not work no matter what you do to them.
Here is an example of community trying to get the Nokia SFP's running with a third party router fibre in / fibre out setup, yes I am one of the few documented as modding it and verifying it running on Telus. https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32230041-Internet-Bypassing-the-HH3K-up-to-2-5Gbps-using-a-BCM57810S-NIC

Community Power UserWhat happens when you connect the new router to the ONT with Ethernet cable?
Thanks for your reply!
The Eero installation app (which connects to router via phone/bluetooth) says no internet detected and to restart the modem. I restarted the ONT, but keep getting same result.
Here are a couple of photos of my peculiar setup in case it helps: at current, the data cable is routed outside again to hook up to the old copper line (which enters the house in another place and that I'm trying to "cut out" by installing the new router directly at ONT and do away with T3200).
- I got my eero to work by doing the initial setup behind the T3200(no bridge mode needed on either), disabling IPv6, and then disconnecting everything and just connecting the eero straight to the ONT. I had to do this because Telus’s IPv6 is broken, at least in my neighbourhood.
