Yeah that will work as well, I think the guy does have custom solution for 2x BCM57810S and 1x 2.5GB. Or just with BCM57840

Yeah that will work as well, but IDK I feel like that’d be defeating the purpose of a small AIO. Yeah the converter is not big by any stretch of the imagination but the need for 2 separate plugs is annoying to me.

if going that route, you technically just need 2x SFP+ transceiver, 1 negotiating at 2.5GBe and 1 negotiating at 10GBe as uplink

Suspecting TM did something at their backend that's breaking VoIP

OPNSense was running VLAN 500 only, tried putting VLAN 400 and VLAN 600 in DHCP mode and bridge VLAN and phy interface and it causes my internet via VLAN 500 to just freak out. Had to disable both VLANs for my internet to work properly

Hopefully this is just a fluke cause I'm fully prepared to switch to GPON when I have it configured properly

You’ll have to use DOS/UEFI to patch it with ediag, boot it up with USB and patch

https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32230041-...a-BCM57810S-NIC

It’s just to enable 2500-BaseX since BCM57810S doesn’t support it OOTB

Also remember the power consumption issue, use low power transceivers whenever possible

I’m off GPON stick for now, hopefully not referring to me

Hopefully can get everything prepped for 2Gbps upgrade in 2024

Good news

Received my stick back today from Anime4000 sifu, and got my low powered SFP stick from taobao together with my server chassis with X11SCA-F from taobao as well

Currently have both plugged into BCM57810S, both is showing up as up and running, new 10GBase-T stick apparently runs under 2W (1.8W to be exact) from seller spec sheet

Haven't plugged the fiber into ONU stick yet but if everything is good, I should be able to fully move into dedicated machine for router with just single BCM57810s or a modified M910x

Thanks for the help and heads up! Will try tonight or tmr, can’t disconnect internet Willy nilly or my fam will murder me for not having internet LOL

Back on GPON Stick

As suspected, VoIP VLAN didn’t break my network, it’s how OPNSense did their private routing that’s causing issues, I can still reach my NAS from the internet at large but all local connections within the private network cease to work, it’s probably using VoIP address as gateway as supposed to ONU Stick, will have to look into changing priority for interface to see if that allows ONU Stick interface to have higher priority and ignore VoIP DHCP address

I’m aware of this actually, but if I do buy it I’ll have to 3D print a case, and use a PCIe riser for the card

For now my new router box is fine, will see if I have budget in the near future or nt

Don’t forget, it’s not a 57810S chipset, so still can’t do AIO

Most likely have to use 3D printed case tbh, fitting this in the same case seems like lots of trouble, especially with the need to manually cut the aluminum to fit it in.

Not to mention the cooling part, these BCM57810S gets HOT, putting it this close seems like a horrible idea in general.

Next best option is harvest 12V off the power connector for another fan onto the NIC, which is another hurdle lol

"If it aint broken, dont touch it" point reached..

OPNSense with VoIP/TR069 finally working

Nearly SGD910 whew

Maybe I'll keep my supermicro router for a month or two more before pulling the plug on this

It’s a miniature GPON, not a router

You still need a router, a switch won’t be able to do PPPoE dialup, especially not an unmanaged switch

You can’t directly plug GPON ONU SFP into SFP+ port on UDM/UDM SE, it doesn’t support 2.5G mode

For PPPoE, even with media converter, from what I can find roughly online is Ubiquiti’s PPPoE performance is piss poor, so you can’t reach the full 2G/1G speed if you put PPPoE on your UDM, so maybe iPoE is the only viable option if you want UDM as your main gateway

Yes, with either OpenWRT/OPNSense/pfSense or RouterOS but it’s paid, choose your own poison

Guess nothings stopping you from Proxmox ing it up as your main hypervisor considering how strong it is

What’s with you and your “gaming you will feel a difference” sentiment in almost every single post

The only thing heating up in a GPON stick is the laser module, and as Anime4000 here stated, if your laser from ISP isn’t overpowering it’s fine. It’s just a bridge for laser signal, there isn’t anything “affecting” the heat on the stick. It’s not a router running services like DHCP, PPPoE dial up or any other normal router would be doing

I run my stick in a 2U server chassis with no extra cooling at the back, my entire household usage per month pertains to about 2TB down 1TB up. The PON stick stays at 34-35 deg, no extra heat/performance dips.

Stop using your “GaMiNg WiLl FeEl DiFfErEnT” sentiment in every post ty

Then pull up proof to prove me wrong that this GPON bridge heating up affects the respond time

Always going on between 1 and 3, just these two numbers specifically. Stop trying to pull shit out of your ass and actually pull out proof that it does in fact add 2 more milliseconds of delay

Sure. That is valid

But “it makes a 2ms difference” is not

And do you know me personally to know that I’m not a gamer?

A competitive gamer as well mind you

Honestly I wanted to get UDM for gateway but considering their reluctance for implementing hardware accelerating for PPPoE, I’ll probably still stick with my OPNSense gateway

Tell that to him not me , I’m just using my own personal experience to comment

I’ve tried stressing my PON stick up, but never saw anything above 38 deg, so that’s a vouch

It’s a free speech world, they can say anything the want. As long as their blatant lies aren’t being taken for the truth, in the end it’s whatever, they can keep gaslighting themselves into believing what they want, that’s on them at the end of the day

I should’ve just done the same thing with Mr tng and block tbh, the anger got the best of me

I think for Malaysia market, go Mikrotik over Ubiquiti. There’s no really better or worst when you reach this level of prosumer market imho, just which one suits you better and your ability to tinker

Also Malaysia’s PPPoE is affecting Unifi to fully stretch its legs, not to mention the name clashes and hence further deterring them from having an official outlet in Malaysia sadly
