Purpose of the ONT
What is the purpose of the ONT? Is it simply to convert the fibre to rj45 or does it do other tasks? The reason I ask, is I have read that you can put a switch after the ONT and have one...
I've used my own router on a T3200M without putting it into bridge mode. Just have to make sure the subnet on your personal router is not 192.168.1.x.
You can pull the SFP out and put it into a media converter or an SFP (non +) capable switch. Not all devices support these SFP ONTs though and some don't have decent cooling for them and tend to cause the SFP module to overheat and restart.
If you have an ONT you can remove the T3200M completely and connect directly you just need to make sure your router supports IGMP Proxy with quickleave off.
Telus isn't doing anything special with all this and that's a good thing it's really easy to use your own stuff not that'd they support it.
Well this who telus so called fibre internet is a joke with how telus has things set up the ONT should have two wired out one for the telus t3200m and one for seperate router .

You can add a switch between the ONT and your routers, or bridge the T3200M to a second router. The ONT follows the same process Telus has always offered: a single path to your router/gateway.
