And the choices of routers that can actually achieve Gbit/s throughput is actually limited. The router having a Gbit/s port is NOT enough. /M

Marlow wrote: » Erh ... no .. they are not. And also, people don't always buy the latest model, when they go out and buy a router. The providers .. especially with SIRO .. actually test their routers and prove to SIRO, that they are capable of Gbit/s throughput. This test was put in place, so that providers don't just supply any junk. Looking at the specification, this Mikrotik hAP ac3 router for example: https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac3 won't be doing Gbit/s throughput. The CPU is not fast enough. It'll deal with approx 600-650 Mbit/s at the most, once it has to do firewalling, NAT etc. You can buy this new in Elara, the NETGEAR R6120: https://www.elara.ie/productdetail.aspx?productcode=ECE4307791 and it will probably do Gbit/s on the 5 GHz wifi. Maybe. It will not do Gbit/s speeds on the internet interface, because it's CPU is not powerful enough for that, once it has to deal with firewalling, NAT etc. I have tested a whole bunch of these. And I can tell you with certainty: not every router is capable of Gbit/s throughput, once it has to do firewalling and NAT also. There is a reason, that providers only recommend a subset of routers for FTTH connections. /M

It wouldn't work anyway without being able to tag VLAN on WAN port. My assumption was if you are looking to upgrade the stock device, you know what you are doing and you are also willing to spend 120+ on the hardware, it doesn't make sense otherwise.

I get your point though.

Just got off a meeting with a colleague on the other side of the city, whose siro is still down. Pure telecom confirmed to me this morning that it was a siro outage, and not specific to them (which adds up, because my colleague is with sky). Hopefully just a blip, because ours has been excellent since we got it before Christmas.
Airwire: MartinL wrote: » We have not seen any outage within the SIRO customers, that we have in Galway, nor is there an outage on SIRO itself. There was a big power outage this morning affecting approx 5000 premises, that covered a part of Galway. That seems to have cleared between 13:00 and 14:00. So it can very well be, that connectivity and equipment of certain providers serving Galway was affected. It did not affect our network.

Is this normal, I would have thought they would have just taken their router with them? Has anyone been able to get another SIRO box easy enough? We’ve tried a few providers and haven’t been able to get confirmation of what the next steps are so anyone that has any advice would be great. The attached from the SIRO installation is basically what we have on our wall now. Thanks.
