Hey, guys.
Just found this thread (and haven't got the time to go through yet)

So, for home user, TM Unifi, is it possible to ditch the ONU/modem/ONT/whatever we call them? I have Edgerouter 4 with SFP port. I think it is time to de-clutter my rack.

If it is possible, maybe can share the guide? E.g. hardware needed etc.

Cheers.

Wow, I will take a look at your posts later. When I went through quickly this thread, I thought you were discussing about replacing the TM's ONU with a stick (I imagined another version with stick appearance). Its an SFP!! Good job. Keep update here.

Do you mind share your router type/model? Mine is ER-4. Do you think it will work?

Do you think if we contact TM and mention clearly our intention (to get rid of their ONU), they will give support to make it legal? Is it similar to the case when a user have to replace their original ONU with similar type/model/brand due to failure and out of warranty? My only intention is to de-clutter my rack and my ONU is working perfectly.

This is a spontaneous idea coming from my head: did you tried to get the MAC address of your original ONU and assign the same MAC address to the stick that you purchased? I believe you have done that! <UPDATE: You've done that!>

<Additional question>
What about voice? I am using their phone line. Do you think ER-4 can do that (sorry, I don't have time to go through the ER-4 documentation) or some other extra hardware are required?

Wow, it has been yearsss since last I logged to Lowyat.net and found this thread.

To the admins, and the great contributors to the idea, please update the first post, so that the guide is complete and can be followed easily by the others.

I am still with Unifi 500/100, still with the ugly Huawei ONU and EdgeRouter 4. Kinda hate the ONU since its taking space in my network rack. Will turn to this thread when I upgrade. Plan to upgrade local LAN first to 10gbe and WiFi BE, and then upgrade the Internet speed to other (not prefer TM or Time because of unsymmetrical speed) like Allo, after they solve their service up-time. Been using a lot of personal VPN, my company VPN to transfer huge data and upload speed became much more important too.

Keep updating, guys! Not everyone need this. Only serious users appreciate it. Hate the TM 2Gbps hardware and their aggregated offering.
