Gawdamnit! I replaced my old ASUS RT-AC87U with a new RT-AX88U early this year. Then only a few weeks ago; Unifi upgraded my line from 800Mbps to 1Gbps. but to do the line upgrade; they changed my modem from the old Huawei HG8240W to some new Dlink DPN-FX3060V that's supposed to be some kinda all in one MESH/etc. Screw my years of AC88/AX88U fine tuning and settings. now this DNS crap.
I dont think there's a replacement yet for any Router with fibre modem? I know ASUS got some new BE- models with fibre connectors... but those are for SWITCH use rather than fibre MODEM use..?.. am i correct in this? Or can i plug back the old huawei HG8240 if it can still support the speeds?
Options:
if they didn't take away your Huawei, you can reuse it, max speed 940Mbps because of Gigabit Ethernet Limitations (I would be willing to sacrifice ~60Mbps to use own powerful Asus router)
or, bridge the dlink and connect your asus up
however, the dlink is buggy and will randomly drop and get stuck at 300Mbps
it also has security problems
so, just reuse the Huawei
otherwise, we have forum members here selling SFP mini Fiber ONT
