Puretelecom huawie modem

I remember it being mentioned in a thread that they are now offering a new Huawei router that is Wifi6 capable but can't find the comment.

@CoBo55 What was the Huawei router model Pure Telecom provided you?

Any problems so far?

I recently signed up with Pure and they sent me out a Huawei. I sent it back and am using my own ubiquiti edgerouter instead.

They sent me out another router the other day as the fibre in the area was down and they thought a new router would sort it, this was a Zyxel

Lg8245x6 is the model number, connected it up and turned it on last April I haven't had to touch it since, top class service from Pure I'm very impressed with them tbh. Bills are spot on every month, the bill is issued at the beginning of the month and the money taken around the 20th. If they offer me a half decent deal next year I'll stay with them.

And how did you find the Zyxel? What model was it, btw?

I was in contact with them recently about switching and their sales guy said that they were using the Zyxel now instead of the Fritzbox for full fibre, but he didn't know specifically which one.

Would like to know more before I decide, as having the wrong (or right) hardware can make such a big difference to your ongoing service quality; and as I've been down that road previously, I'd much prefer to avoid it this time if at all possible.

Jesus lads, what type of network are you running? The fritzbox 7530 doesn't have WiFi 6 that's why they aren't using it anymore. If you're that much into having a top of the range network you should be using your own router at this stage, the beauty of ftth is that you can do that as the modeming is already done.

Thanks Jnealon. Does anyone else have any experience of using that particular model? Is it up to scratch and reliable?

POTS = Plain Old Telephone System - the ports for connecting the phone to.

Hadn't realised previously that you'd already specified which router you were using instead - which model ubiquiti are you using and was it straightforward to get it to work with Pure's protocols?

They've sent me out one of the Huawei LG8245X6-10's mentioned above, but I'd rather not use one of those as they're not particularly good and I've had coverage issues here before.

That would work fine with Pure, you plug it into the ONT instead of their router.

Ok, thanks Glaceon. And, just to clarify, where exactly would I be able to plug it in to then?

Is there a specific ONT device/socket supplied during the installation, separate from their provided router?

The Huawei has a built-in ONT AFAIK, hence their preference for it; although I'm not sure about the Zyxel.

The Huawei supplied by Pure doesn't have a built in ont it's just a router. The ont(modem) is a once off install done by siro/ openeir etc. You're making this sound more complicated than it really is.
