Hi guys, wondering if anyone could help me.

I installed 2GBps package with time and they provided me with Huawei OptixStar HN8245X6s XGS-Pon Terminal to be used as router modem.

But since I already have an ASUS AiMesh setup with 98BE and a couple BQ16s I told the installer to put the Huawei in bridge mode and I want to use the 98BE as my modem router but the installer claimed that for 2GBps Huawei device provided thus was not possible.

So I had to use the automatically receive IP settings in the WAN page of my 98BE but this is obviously not ideal because it will cause remote connection into my house network issues especially since I use wire guard vpn.

Any ideas how to overcome this?

Thanks!

Ok thanks. So that’s the only way yeah?

😂 ok thanks bro

Thanks bro. Called up customer service and they helped to setup to bridge mode. But since it’s a 2Gbps connection they had to do a vlan tagging on the port to allow my router to do a PPoE connection on the 2.5 LAN port of the Huawei bridged device.

Sure, this is on iPhone 15 pro max WiFi 6e :



Previous tested my 2.5G LAN port on my PC able to get 2Gbps consistently even when the LAN is only connected to mesh device on 6ghz backhaul.

In the midst of upgrading to 2.5G Ethernet backhaul using fiber to room setup like how time does it but using own contractor.
