hi all sifus. hope to get some help here. just got called by unifi for 800mbps -> 1gpbs upgrade with installation set to be next week.

cs told me over the phone that they will give me a new router and i believe would be the same dlink gpon router mentioned in this thread.

the more i read about this router the more worried i get about dealing with random speed cap, vulnerabilities etc.

anyway currently im using 7 year old huawei onu bridged to asus ac86u router.

1. can i still use my existing setup after the upgrade? will tm take my old onu away and insist on setting up the dlink gpon router during installation? i understand that onu is tm property so will they allow to let me keep it after the upgrade?

2. not advance user but main things i want to retain is being able to choose my own DNS server, configure my own wifi network and password, scheduling. already familiar with asus router setup/configurations

3. is there any passwords (for the devices or login) i need to get from tm installer during setup?


thanks in advance

thank you for the info. glad to have that as an option. 940mbps is more than enough for me. hopefully technician will be willing to let me stay on the old onu.

may i know whether my unifi connection is locked to a particular ONU? should i bother to have technician setup the new 2 in 1 gpon router to keep as backup?

if say next time my ONU kaput, can i just plug and play another huawei onu or the 2 in 1 gpon router and use without needing TM to do any setting change on their side?

i see.

would you know if the suspected “unbinding” is done locally on the old ONU (remove settings) or is it done on TM “infrastructure” side.

asking coz wanna know what to look out for. later technician setup new onr and in the process “unbinds” old onu 😅 anything i can do to make sure this doesn’t happen?

reporting back after my speed upgrade

without any request from me, unifi technician provided new fiberhome ONT. no dlink 2 in 1. but limited to 940mbps only due to 1Gbps LAN port on ONT. tried putting back previous alcatel ONT also can work. quality of fiberhome ONT looks flimsy and cheap
