hi,
i have VF Fibre at the moment, however i would like upgrade my modem so support better firewalling etc.

im looking at getting a fibre modem from Fritzbox.
they have two types 
GPON and AON

which type can be used with the fiber you are providing?

i have tried bridging mode, but its just not working out the way i want.

understand you may not be able to support the modem, but if you can let me know which type of fiber it is, i can hopefully work out the rest myself.


thanks

I’m interested in-signing up for Vodafone SIRO but wasnt able to identify if there is a modem /bridge mode within the NTE/CPE they provide ?

Can you post details of your modem and any screenshots of version with modem mode.

Thanks

Vodafone,

would you be able to provide any update to my original question?

thanks.

You don't need a GPON or other fibre enabled unit. Use their ONT, it's mandatory. Buy any cable router that supports vlan tagging on WAN and off you go. 

Hi @wendigo

I'm looking into this for you, I'll let you know as soon as I have an update

hey,
just wondering if you have any update for me ?

@ed e - thanks, i have tried bridging and my own equipment, however i could never get port forwarding to work, at all.

Hi there,

Apologies for the delay.

The fibre is terminated at ONT at your home, and the ethernet connection from ONT connects to the WAN interface on the modem. You can’t replace ONT
I'd advise getting in touch with tech on 1907, there may be other ways to achieve this. You'd need to advise tech if you have voice or TV service with us. 

hey,

ok thanks for the update.
you can close this off now.
