Telus Wi-Fi Hub re-enabling wifi despite being in full bridge mode?! DHCP chaos.
Hello All, First post here... have had Telus 750/750 for a week now. This morning (at about 3 am), it seems my Telus Wi-Fi Hub (white diaper genie style), re-enabled the WiFi services on it, de...
- SFP and SFP+ are not compatible hence why I mentioned the need for a media convertor.
You could also use a Ubiquiti Edge Router ER-X-SFP but it's got some issues with the Nokia SFP Telus uses and is not unifi.
With the media converter your simply converting the fiber SFP which is max 1Gbps to single 1Gbps Ethernet port you can just plug into your current hardware.
It may have simply been pushed a software update that causes it to reset it's settings.
You may have better luck just eliminating the Telus hub and taking the SFP (non +) module out and plugging it into a media converter such as a TP-Link MC220L then just plug that into your router.
Optik TV with Ubiquiti is really a non-issue it's pretty easy to setup if you know how to modify the config.gateway.json on the cloud key I run it all with no issues.
Sorry for reviving this old thread but thank you kevhawk! For the last two and a half months I've been struggling to get the Arcadyan Telus Wi-Fi Hub to let me use my own router in bridge mode. For some reason it insisted on being a DHCP server on all ports regardless of bridge mode settings, preventing my own router from accessing the internet *at all* and forcing me to hard factory reset it every time I tried to enable "full" (all ports) bridge mode. At least I think that's what was going wrong, either way I eventually gave up and used it as my network's router for a few months (ugh).
Finally last night I got fed up and somehow by the right combination of search terms, I came across this thread. Ordered the recommended TP-Link MC220L and got it set up today. It works flawlessly so far and now I can use my eero mesh Wi-Fi system without the pain of the Arcadyan hub acting as my router! Thank you for the clear recommendation and instructions for how to use the MC220L with the fibre cable coming into my house (I had no idea the SFP module came out from the Telus hub)! Latency and speed are just as good as they were before (150/150 plan).
