[Maylyn's - Networking] ASUS-AX89X

1+1Gbps ain't gonna work. AFAIK, the ONT does not support 802.3ad LACP

the 1 + 1 is only when out of the ONR, but its still a single 2gbps fibre line. What I mean, is it possile to directly connect the fibreline directly to the AX89X, without going through the Gpon

Not possible. All connections can only start from the ONT/ONR. The ONT/ONR is needed to communicate with the ISP backend before the fibre link can be established.

If you need a full 2gbps line, you would need to consider another ISP/Plan. But, such an infrastructure would not come cheap, as you would have to purchase high speed (10gb) routers, network cards, cat7 cabling, etc.

Oh cannot. One cannot just remove the ONT/ONR out of the equation. Maybe I'm wrong, any networking pros can shed light on this?

The first device after the Fibre Termination Point is the modem (also known as the ONT/ONR). This is an ISP issued (and loaned to the customer) device. This cannot be simply replaced, as there are pre-configured settings, and the device needs to be compatible with the ISP's backend (normally, both the modem and the backend infra would be using the same brand or at least the modem needs to be compatible with the backend systems).

Only the router can be replaced (if in ONT mode).

RT-AX89X has dualband single 8x8 mimo 5ghz and 4x4 mimo 2.4ghz
GT-AX11000 has triband dual 4x4 mimo 5Ghz and 4x4 mimo 2.4ghz.

Is the separate dedicated backhaul 5ghz band an outdated technology?

Waiting eagerly for the 89X to launch soon. Hopefully it will see the light of day after **.

Hi all, just to update this thread about a question I asked earlier.

My question was can I use the sfp+ as a lan bridge and after I received the unit and tested it out, the answer is yes it can be used as a 10gb lan bridge for wireless devices.

 

[SyncGuy]

Hmm... Sadly, looking at the QVL list for module compatibilities, the SFP+ port can't work with rj45 module.

I was hoping to skip buying a mikrotik switch + 2 10gbe RJ45 modules for my:
1) NAS (inside my store)
2) HTPC (on my TV console)


Or am I wrong? Can the SFP+ port accept BaseT transreceiver (rj45)?

Hi all, does anyone knows if the 10GB ports can be used as wired backhaul for aimesh?

Can we use any 10Gbe Copper SFP module on the router, assuming I get a 10gbe PCIE adapter for my desktop/NAS ? Example: here

And any experience on the cost for laying 50-100 meter of armored MM fiber cable ? Or normal MM fiber cable is sufficient ? Just worried it might be too fragile and need to replace the entire MM cable which is more troublesome...
