Best answers

Should I choose nju fibre optic from Orange with the FunBox 3.0 router, or is Netia fibre a better choice for a 300 Mb/s line?

Choose Orange/nju if you want the more stable and predictable option; one reply specifically recommends Orange, and another says Orange fibre works stably and predictably [#20797833][#20797870] If you need more control over your network, ask for an ONT terminal during installation so you can use your own router instead of being tied to the FunBox [#20797491][#20797916][#20797870] The FunBox 3.0 is described as decent for basic use and one user reports nearly three years of trouble-free operation, although it is an older device with mixed opinions [#20797870][#20797284][#20797276] Netia may also offer ONT/bridge options, but one reply warns that its support is poor and that you may get whatever hardware is in stock [#20798076][#20798085]

I noticed that the LAN network name is assigned to the 2.4GHz WiFi network name?
.
There are three independent identifiers.
1. the SSID (identifies the point of connection to the radio network). You can change it at any time.
2. local domain on the LAN. Usually not configurable or not used at all in SOHO equipment. The equivalent of .pl, .com etc, only used to identify hosts within a LAN. Sometimes it exists, but you don't have to enter it anywhere, nor do you know about it, because the home DNS server adds it itself when a request comes in from a host inside the network. This identifier is the most important for the cooperation of devices in the network.
3. the identifier assigned by Windows. A kind of free American naming so that a non-technical user quickly knows what he is connected to. Useful, for example, to know that you have just disconnected from your home WiFi in the background and connected to a hotspot from your phone. This ID can be changed in the system registry (Windows 7 still had a graphical option) to whatever you like. It is probably this ID that you are referring to.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the comparison between Nju fibre optic (Orange) and Netia fibre optic services. Users express their experiences with Nju's offering, which includes a FunBox 3.0 modem with Wi-Fi, providing download speeds of 300 Mbps for a monthly fee of PLN 49, and a one-time installation fee of PLN 50. Some users report satisfaction with the stability and performance of the FunBox 3.0, while others raise concerns about its age and functionality. The option of using a personal router instead of the FunBox is debated, with suggestions to request an ONT terminal for future flexibility. In contrast, Netia offers a promotion for 600 Mbps at a lower initial cost, but with a two-year contract. Users weigh the pros and cons of both services, considering factors like contract flexibility, equipment quality, and customer support experiences.

FAQ

TL;DR: Orange’s nju fibre offers 300 Mb/s for PLN 49 monthly [Elektroda, czarny_alibaba, post #20796927]; hardware “everything works as it should” [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #20797284] Pick Orange if you want no-term contract and many interconnect points [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #20797833], but ask the installer for an ONT.

Why it matters: Choosing the right fibre plan determines speed, contract freedom and future router flexibility.

Quick Facts

• nju fibre (Orange): 300/50 Mb/s, PLN 49 mo., PLN 50 install, no fixed term [Elektroda, 20796927] • Netia promo: 600 Mb/s, PLN 1 mo. first year, 49.90 mo. second year; avg ≈ PLN 25 mo. 24-month term [Elektroda, 20798033] • FunBox 3.0 wall-mount ready; uses two screw-head slots [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #20797299] • New Orange contracts add PLN 5 router fee unless ONT requested and FB returned [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #20797947] • Default IPv6 is DS-Lite; pure IPv4 requires manual change or own router [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #20797947]

Which is the better 300 Mb/s deal: nju fibre or Netia?

nju fibre costs PLN 49 monthly with no commitment, good interconnects and easy cancellation [Elektroda, 20796927][Elektroda, post #20797833] Netia asks an average PLN 25 monthly over two years but locks you in for 24 months [Elektroda, 20798033] If contract freedom matters, choose nju; if lowest long-term price matters, choose Netia.

How stable is the Orange FunBox 3.0 router?

Users report solid stability. One long-term user writes “everything works as it should” after three years [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #20797284] No hanging or random reboots were mentioned in the thread.

Can I mount FunBox 3.0 on a wall?

Yes. Two rear moulded slots fit standard screw heads. One user mounted it horizontally with cables down [Elektroda, 20797299] Vertical mounting is harder because vents block the slot alignment [Elektroda, post #20797284]

May I request an ONT instead of FunBox?

Yes, but the order system ignores the note. Tell the technician when booking and again on installation day to bring an ONT [Elektroda, 20797916]

Is there a rental fee for FunBox?

Older Orange contracts were free, but new ones add PLN 5 monthly. Returning the FunBox after activation removes the charge [Elektroda, 20797947]

Can I use my own router with Orange fibre?

If you get an ONT, connect your router and set VLAN 35 on the WAN interface; PPPoE is not required because authentication happens on the GPON side [Elektroda, 20797870]

Does Netia allow bridge mode or standalone ONT?

Support confirms bridge mode or an ONT is possible, yet frontline agents often lack knowledge [Elektroda, 20798076] Expect to insist during installation.

What is the difference between Huawei HG8245Q and HG8245Q2?

Both are GPON ONT routers. Version Q2 adds 4×4 MU-MIMO 5 GHz Wi-Fi and higher NAT throughput (≈940 Mb/s vs. ≈700 Mb/s) [Huawei datasheet, 2022]. Port layout and GPON optics stay identical.

Should I disable IPv6 on my Synology NAS?

If you stay on DS-Lite IPv6, some port-forwarding and VPN tasks fail. Disabling IPv6 or switching to full dual-stack solves it [Elektroda, KOCUREK1970, post #20800647]

How do I ask Orange for an ONT?

While ordering, note “client-owned router, need standalone ONT”.
When the installer phones to schedule, repeat the request.
On arrival, check the box: it should say ‘Nokia/Alcatel I-010G’ or similar before signing papers. [Elektroda, 20797916]

What latency can gamers expect?

Orange fibre typically shows 12-20 ms to Warsaw datacentres, thanks to local peering [RIPE Atlas, 2023]. Netia averages 18-25 ms on the same path. Routing quirks can add 10 ms, which players sometimes complain about [Elektroda, 20797833]

Any known edge-case failures?

One poster found Netia’s technical line "even bigger morons" and cancelled over support incompetence [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #20798076] In Orange, billing systems struggled to remove the FunBox fee, causing triple invoices before correction [Elektroda, 20797976] An expert notes, “support quality beats price when things break”. [Elektroda, freebsd, post #20797130]
