Re: NH20T in Bridge Mode/Speeds/General Home Networking/XGS-PON
Hey thank you. Maybe asking for an ONT would be the smart move. I will keep reading the forums and hopefully someone does both options and can give some feedback. If you come across anything please link it here as I would like to know the reasons why somethings do not work, and performance of the different options. Cheers!4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: NH20T in Bridge Mode/Speeds/General Home Networking/XGS-PON
Nighthawk I cannot find the post again, but DrPacman posted in a response to someone that with services 1G and below this was possible (eliminating the Telus hardware and using your own) but with services over 1G you could not eliminate the Telus equipment anymore (specifically NH20T) and had to use the 10G Port Bridge mode. The post was from 2023 and it is 2025 now so things may have changed. I suspect it is because of the XGS-PON but I do not know. However, if there is an explanation of why it doesn't work I would love to know. Cheers4KViews0likes2CommentsRe: NH20T in Bridge Mode/Speeds/General Home Networking/XGS-PON
Nighthawk, thankyou. Just to clarify the Full Bridge Mode, I can no longer log into the NH20T without a factory reset? In case I want to go back? I moved to 3G/3G from 1G/1G and they gave me an XGS-PON. My old GPON I used to just put into my own home built pfSense box and out to my 1G/10G/40G switch and my home server and Ruckus AP's. This new XGS-PON will not work plugged into my own pfSense box from what I have read. Also, what speeds should I see on a 3G/3G connection? What is the minimum acceptable according to TELUS? Very much appreciated.4.3KViews0likes4CommentsNH20T in Bridge Mode/Speeds/General Home Networking/XGS-PON
Hello all and thanks in advance for any help. First off I understand how to put it in Bridge mode. What I am looking for is the differences between the different bridge modes specifically the Full Bridge and Port 10G Bridge, as Port 1 Bridge should be the same as Port 10G Bridge mode other than different port speeds (correct me if I am wrong). If I put the NH20T in Full Bridge: Does this mean all DHCP etc and everything are shut off and I can no longer log into the NH20T itself without doing a factory reset on the unit? When I plug my own router into any off the ports I will pull IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from Telus (when configured correctly). I can pull only one IPv4 and 6 from Telus so it is not advisable to plug more than one router in to the NH20T’s ports. Or will I pull multiple WAN IP's with multiple routers? If I put the NH20T in Port 10G Bridge: Does this mean Port 1 to 4 will operate normally (default) as setup on LAN IP range 192.168.1.254 unless I turn off DHCP and make changes etc. So I could run the Telus TV boxes off these ports or leave them empty my choice. The 10G Port I can plug my own router into this to provide 10G Networking to my home network provided I have a 10G Networking router/switches/devices/cabling etc (which I do). Plugged into the 10G Port can I run a separate LAN IP range? Leave ports 1-4 on 192.168.1.*** and set my router on the 10G Port to 192.168.0.*** or whatever I want? While in Port 10G Bridge mode is DHCP and NAT turned off and is totally separate from the routing that is still being done on Ports 1-4? Thanks in advance.Solved5KViews0likes6Comments
