Re: Wan aggregation
I'm also looking for ways to maximize the connection from my RT-AX86U. I was thinking of upgrading from my current 750Mbps to 1.5Gbps but, as far as I understand it, the one active port from my fibre ONT only supports gigabit ethernet, so even if I install a multigig switch and run it to the 2.5Gbps port or play around with some sort of link aggregation, I won't get more than 1Gpbs to one device from the router. If I want more, I think I have to play around with a switch or router that supports a direct connecting to the fibre's SFP module. I'm pretty to new to this so I only marginally understand it all. So, I guess my question is, does the new Telus Wi-Fi hub enable any of this to happen easier?3.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Does the Nokia ONT that Telus uses for fibre support multi-gigabit internet?
Saw this pointed out in the fine print: Concurrent data streams, including combinations of uploads and downloads, may be required to access maximum speeds. Maximum speeds may not be achievable using a single device. Again, interesting. As in 'interesting that there is so much that I don't know about this' haha. Maybe it's best I spend the time and call/contact Telus.7KViews0likes1CommentDoes the Nokia ONT that Telus uses for fibre support multi-gigabit internet?
Hi... I'm thinking of upgrading to Telus' 1.5 Gbps fibre because, well, why not, it's a minimal cost increase. I'm also an Optik TV customer so my current setup is an Asus AX86U WiFi 6 router connected to my T3200. Since the AX86U has a 2.5 Gbps WAN port, I was thinking that I should take advantage of that. Right now it goes: Fibre - Nokia ONT - T3200 - AX86U My plan is: Fibre - Nokia ONT - Multigig Switch - AX86U (2.5Gbps)/T3200 So, since the Nokia ONT has only one active port, in order to get it all to work I'd need to invest in a multigig switch like the new consumer QNAP QSW-1105-5T. Before I make that investment, I figured I should know that the Nokia ONT can for sure output more than 1Gbps. My instinct is to say that it must be able to because otherwise, why would Telus offer the service, right? A quick google search on the ONT model leads me to technical forums that are above my pay grade. Can anyone help me here?7.1KViews0likes4Comments
