Question

I have a Razer Sila router and I would like to use it after plugging in the fiber in a month and a half. I do not know what equipment exactly T-Mobile gives, calling the Standard Router for PLN 0 and whether it has Bridge Mode. Maybe it's better to buy a cable router yourself without Wi-Fi...

Try to find out on the hotline or in the salon. I rather doubt you could insert your own gpon device from your carrier instead.

It is mainly about the security of the service provision.

Let them provide you with the exact model on the hotline and it will be known.

This is a theory. Unfortunately, we do not know how the router communicates with the ONT. In the case of Orange, it is PPPoE and this function must have a new router, if this connection method is implemented. For this PPPoE you need a login and password. This must be checked.

The general rule is that GPON (with or without an integrated router) is always the operator's equipment. Then, possibly, the subscriber's router is behind it.

Garoz666 · Answer

It's hard to even find out if their device has Bridge Mode, because some on the technical hotline say that it has others, that it doesn't.
As for the other GPON device, why couldn't I connect it? Their hardware has software under them or what is it?

Maybe there is someone who has fiber from T-Mobile and would know at least with this Bridge Mode

WMichał · Answer

Due to the possibility of network management and diagnostics by the operator. If everyone had a different device, it would be difficult for operators to control all of this and ensure proper functionality.

Garoz666 · Answer

OKAY. Maybe someone who has T-Mobile optical fiber will comment here on Bridge Mode, Bridge Mode or do these routers have it?

Garoz666 · Answer

I still don't know about Bridge Mode

There is no need to call the hotline. you need to send an inquiry by e-mail. There will be a pad in the event of a problem. Besides, it's best if they give an ONT + router (if they have such an option), and then kick your soul. All this has to be arranged in advance, not on the hotline, where people who usually only know how to pick up the phone work. [edited] It's just an advertisement, but I have good news for a friend:

Garoz666 · Answer

OKAY. So they make an ONT socket terminated with an optical fiber. Ethernet goes from socket to router or further optical fiber because they do not say that in this advertisement?

Here you can see how Orange does it and you can see that the optical fiber goes from the socket to the funbox 3.0, not ethernet to the WAN port.
What is an ONT and an ONT socket because I did not ask? I am asking for a simple explanation and does each operator do the same in the sense of those who connect the optical fiber?

Anonymous · Answer

ONT (optical network terminal) - a media converter, i.e. a transition from an optical fiber to a copper cable (twisted pair). Fiber optic connector - that is, before the ONT.

Garoz666 · Answer

OKAY. So, having an ONT socket for the router in the WAN, I connect an RJ-45 twisted pair to each one, yes?

Now the question goes after DHCP, do you need to configure somehow on the router because my Razer Sila only has an auto after DHCP, or the option that I have to enter the login or password?

For this I found something like this for the T-Mobile fiber:
https://www.t-mobile.pl/r/repo1/tm/documents/doc_00008/Instrukcja_portalu_mojeWiFi.pdf
https://mojewifi.t-mobile.pl/login
This is what ??

On the contract I have the service number and password, which, according to PDF, including My WiFi, I change later, but the Wi-Fi configuration, etc. goes through this portal, so it's rather hard to use a different router than what they give, unless I do not know what completely it's about it

Garoz666 · Answer

Where to check it because the Internet is silent? From what I exhausted on the T-Mobile hotline, optical fiber services for T-Mobile are provided Inea . They confirmed to me with Inea that they will be doing installations for a single-family house in November, so maybe there is a source of what and how, and I can't find :) From T-Mobile, I received the following answer to an e-mail asking about Bridge Mode and IP: I feel sorry for the money to call, but I think you will have to make some sacrifices and it will be clear :) Added after 25 [minutes]: This is the WAN configuration in Razer Sila:

Garoz666 · Answer

In the end, I managed to overcome this stuff

and called this T-Mobile Premium Tech Desk.

The answer was that I can connect another router because the service mainly works in PPPoE. When I log into the service, I can call it, but it is recommended to use their router because then it can remotely view its configuration in case of any problems with the optical fiber.
In addition, they sent an SMS which requirements in terms of standards must be supported by the router. I can't find this information about my Razer Sila. I would like to add that, as in the screenshots from my router, I do not have the option to choose PPPoe, but just login and password.

They said that so far they do not have their routers, i.e. Standard and Premium Bridge Mode support

Garoz666 · Answer

Someone will tell me if this 802.1Q standard my Razer Sila should support this general standard in routers without modems?

Anonymous · Answer

This standard is VLAN. Take a look at your router's specifications for 802.1Q or VLAN descriptions. No, 802.1Q is not the standard that all routers have.

Garoz666 · Answer

All specification: On page 6.

Anonymous · Answer

So there is no VLAN, or at least that's what this specification says.

Garoz666 · Answer

Maybe that's it? Maybe this configuration is chodiz like in this PDF for some extra delivery? -90Kc0hwZyE

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe here is what you have to try. It's a bit strange that the specification does not have this and the manual does not discuss it. [edited] Yes, that will be it. Page 4 describes the VLAN for the Internet (for the WAN).

Garoz666 · Answer

I corrected the link in my last post. See in this VLAN service what I gave a screenshot, this is the VLAN ID what they sent me via SMS and that's what it's about. I have to set it to 35 and it should go since 802.1Q is VLAN.

Anonymous · Answer

Exactly. Set VLAN 35 here and login and password there.

Garoz666 · Answer

I expanded the VLAN settings and set the VLAN ID, and this is Piority next to the VLAN ID ?? Added after 1 [minutes]: Cable with an outlet that will do in the router's WAN?

Anonymous · Answer

I don't know, I would have left 0. This is how it is supposed to be. There may also be no ONT only socket with RJ-45 port.

Garoz666 · Answer

Thanks for the tips and the answer. I will let you know what and how after November 26, because only then will I do it when it starts, I will be happy because maybe this router does not look with these internal, supposedly industrial antennas, but on Allegro I bought a TP-Link router for PLN 400-500, Asus in this the same price or Xiaomi with gigabit ports so black and I gave all of them in 14 days on Allegro because Wi-Fi led me to literally shoemaking passion, not only poor coverage but also Wi-Fi transfer with the current LTE up to 60Mb / s, no data limit yet I was able to use Wi-Fi, despite being connected to a router at the level of 120-150Mb / s, to have barely 1Mb / s from the Internet.

On this, the range and speed of the wifi simply knocks the rest off your feet. Of course, it has SSID common options for 2.4 and 5Ghz but then the range drops.
I did not buy this Razer Sil for 700-800 PLN, because I am not such a madman, in X-Kom it was on sale for PLN 479

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe you did the right thing, but such a purchase (in terms of WiFi) should be preceded by diagnostics. Besides, you can add additional AP if necessary.

Garoz666 · Answer

I know, but it's better on it, so it stays on it for now.

Yes, the contract says ONT that I should have it done. I call it "socket" in my own way because it is easier for me.

Is it worth buying a Cat.6 cable or should it run 600Mb / s on Cat 5e without a problem?

Added after 3 [minutes]:

One more thing I have an Asus VivoBook laptop and it does not have a port and a network card with an RJ-45 port. I bought a Baseus adapter (as it is professionally called) from USB-C to RJ-45 gigabit, or USB 3.0 will not limit anything here because in Win 10 in devices it says that it is connected via USB-C to USB 3.0?

Added after 3 [minutes]:

Connection status with Razer Sila via this RJ-45 adapter:

Anonymous · Answer

If 6 is already 6a. If the exchange is easy, I would leave the one that is there and replace it only in case of problems. Added after 1 [minutes]: I don't think you need more ;) Do the tests and you will find out.
