haha. my question is the installation of the opennet is from outside of our house to our home or? wanted to know how it is done. ): thanks!

from outside they drill a hole in and lay into your home. Usually place near a powerpoint or TV console area.

for those who had your white ONT changed to the black one,
need to reset router or internet just continuing working as normal

Hi all,

I would like to seek advise from you guys.

Currently I am using M1 200 Mbps with black Huawei ONT connected with aztech homeplug 200mbps in my living room, followed by another aztech homeplug 200mbps with engenius 9850 router to my desktop in my bedroom and I am still experiencing with my previous M1 speed of 50Mbps.

May I know what is the issue?

Homeplug bottlenecks the speed

what's the best or recommended home plug to go with 200/300 Mbps M1 plan ?

 

[hzseesee]

Need experts here to explain.

When I connect my pc lan cable to Lan port2,3,4 on M1 black ONT instead of to ASUS N56 wireless router, there is no internet access.

Called M1, CSO explained that Lan port2,3,4 were not enabled because I only subscribed to 1 fibre plan. Only lan port1 on the ONT is enabled which I used to plug in the ASUS wireless router. She said this is M1 policy.

So, I am correct to say that the lan port2,3,4 on ONT (Huawei HG8240) cannot be used at all if one only subscribe to 1 fibre plan?

Yes, the ONT is configured in bridge mode and only LAN port 1 is enabled. This ONT can also be configured in router mode just that it can't be done at client end.

Thank you, albertlee.

Look like I have no choice but to buy a 8-ports switch as my ASUS wireless router does not have enough ports for my use.

the bottleneck is your electrical wiring at home.

even if you buy the best home plug there is out there, your speed might not improve. home plugs are really hit or miss because its performance relies heavily on your electrical wiring.

wifi is still more reliable but the best is of course still LAN cables.

I am also having the same problem. M1 fibre down about 5 days after installation. The "LOS" light on the Black M1 ONT is blinking and I was told the Technician needs to come down and check it.

Is yours the same problem?

 

[mikafire]

If you press the reset button on the ONT, it restores to huawei factory default,
and will not have the M1 settings necessary.

So if you encounter issues, just power on and off the modem,
but do not ever press the reset button.

Roughly 2-3m.
You may want to get a longer one.

Had this problem in early July. Not M1's problem in the end. Somehow, OpenNet's cabling was damaged at level 2 of my block. Took them about a week to resolve (M1 send tech, then tech say not their problem, will inform opennet, then opennet send tech).

Do note that when I called M1 up, I called opennet too but opennet refused to admit it's their problem til M1 tech came.

Can find my posting on OpenNet's FB page.

Wow so serious... hope mine is just the black into problem

I on off the black into a few times still the same problem... called m1 tech support and the phony lady asked me to press the black ont reset button at the back of the modem but it's at the side.. also cannot work
