I'm going to sign up in Nov, may I know issit better to go for ONT or ONR? Need to tell the technician which want I want?
(I will be getting asus ac1200+ router fr carousel)
Any experts can also help to shed some lights on the above? Is ONT or ONR better? I only know ONR is modem+router, sorry I'm a noob
It doesnt make a difference for most users whether its ONT or ONR mode. I am more incline to say ONR is better for users who want a more simplistic setup. It reduces the need to do configuration of the router. More plug and play. In this mode, any wireless router added can just be an AP mode which reduces the configuration required. The other advantage is that you can use all the ports of the modem (ONR) while in ONT, inly 1 port can be used.
In ONT mode, you might need to know how to configure the router. I.e. your wireless router becomes a router.
Note: expert users will prefer it to be ONT as it allows more flexibility in deploying own sets of routers, gateways, etc. There is more control. But of course, this increases complexities.
