Guess I have to just tinker with that crap router when the installer finish installing it. Hopefully it can be set into bridge mode and still allow me to use my OPNSense router
If not, time to get a ONU off taobao/aliex and migrate it over or just go ONU SFP
i confirm it has bridge mode.
when i upgraded to 1Gbps, the technician said it is also his first time installing that ONR.
so we sat and toyed with it together.
i would suggest you go through the wizard first as if setting it up as router. after everything works as they should, then only switch to bridge mode.
i am not sure if whatever config that was set up prior to switching to bridge mode is retained. it should at least retain VoIP credentials. and i guess bridge mode will dump every VLAN flowing through the fibre onto the LAN port, which downstream router can pick up and do PPPoE.
but what i can confirm, once you switch to bridge mode, ONR will immediately reboot and will no longer be accessible.
maybe there is a special IP address still to access it. but we couldn't figure it out, let alone attempt to log in.
we factory reset it few times when trying bridge mode.
then we gave up since it wasn't accessible any longer, and stick to router mode.
he gave me OLT password for me to continue toying on my own after he left.
the screenshot that i posted here few months ago were from that extended play session.
