I will try to see whether can get the DLink 2.5Gbe, set it up as a bridge mode to my 2.5G wired backhaul. If some here says by setting up the ONE as bridge mode would still limit the speed to 940Mbps is true then might as well use my Huawei BTU back and keep the DLink as spare part until next and newer ONU comes.

The test was done via wireless or over wired connections?

Done the 1Gbps upgrade yesterday!
Received the Skyworth ComboBox (facepalm!).
Decided to switch back to my old and trusty Huawei (in bridge mode) and it works right away (the TM guys were very nice to stay back to verify with me lol).

No plan to upgrade my home LAN to 2.5/10G just yet, so happy to get the 100Mbps less than ideal speed

Wait, they are giving Skyworth for 1Gbps users now?

1Gbps users should be getting the D-Link with 2.5G LAN port.

I did the upgrade last Saturday. The installer gave me the black dlink router with 2.5g port.

Me same time upgrade. After 1 or 2 days (don't know when exactly), the bandwidth drop permanently to 300+Mbps under ookla speedtest using bridging. Have to reboot after get reminded by other posters on yesterday, to recover the speed back to 900+Mbps.

Do you do bridging? if yes, after a couple of days, did the bandwidth drop?

Hello guys, i just received call form TM, they asked me about an upgrade which is modem and router lah. Also they said no payment main after the installation for 3 month. Is that legit? Just curious. Someone explain?

So far my black D-Link ONR bridged with my ASUS RT-AX86U is going fine. The ONR has been up/connected for 72 hours now, still hitting above 900mbps. Total data transfer has been about 300GB during this time.

Hope I don’t jinx it, will need to continuously monitor.

What's the model of your modem previously?

Currently, the speed drop seems to only affect areas with Fiberhome OLT.

If you have a Huawei modem previously, your location is almost always 100% on a Huawei OLT. The D-Link combo ONR works well with Huawei modem.

I see, this probably explains it. Yes was given/using Huawei HG8240w previously.

I will try to do the bridging later. I am still using my huawei onu.

The issue with TM-Huawei infra is the speed seems to be capped at around 940Mbps for most 1Gbps users.

Which means, despite having 2.5G port on the the D-Link ONR, it offers no additional benefits over your old Huawei modem.

In fact, the Huawei HG8240 modem might be better with slightly lower latency and lower heat.

I know it doesn’t happen often realistically, but what I’m thinking is that if there is concurrent DL and UL of say 700mbps and 400mbps respectively, then the 1GBe port on the Huawei modem will be a bottleneck, am I right to say this?

Either way, let’s see how long this D-Link ONR can go without any issues.

It's actually a very valid concern.

The Gigabit Ethernet port on the Huawei is full duplex which means it can transmit 1Gbps up and down at the same time. Same goes to most Gigabit devices in the market.

Do report back if you face any issues on the D-Link.

But I'm using Huawei ONU previously. Still dropped. Only 4th day since installation. Since I reboot yesterday night only, will monitor if it dropped again tonight or these few days. If it does, I will switch back Huawei modem. Tested yesterday with Huawei modem, luckily can plug and play without issue and maintain the 940Mbps and below speed.

Still always have to worry if the old modem aged or fail eventually and the DLink ONR is not working well as bridge, what to do.

Hi guys, any idea if there's any reliable 3rd party ONU/ONR that can work with this Unifi 1G (or beyond)?

Thanks.

Then my concerns are no longer an issue. The moment my D-Link shows sign of the common symptom, I’ll just switch back to the Huawei ONU.

You just need to hope that TM resolves it by the time your modem dies so that you can use the D-Link without any issues.

I guess the best bet now would be a GPON stick solution by Anime4000.

800 Mbps upgraded to 1Gbps yesterday with black HW. Today speed dropped to 300Mbps. Looks like gotta move back to white HW.

I think my area is Fiberhome as our two prior ONUs were Fiberhome.

Knock on wood speeds are pretty great. I can hit 997 Mbps on my phone if I stand like a foot away lol.

Anyone has tried to mesh Black and White ONR? Will it work?
