whats the best way to setup 10gbps for singtel? mine arriving at the end of the month...mostly running wifi around the house
1. Using Stock Singtel Setup
If you are only worried about wireless performance and do not worry about other things, the bundled Asus GT-AX11000 Pro is a pretty good WiFI 6 router already.
Do you have any 10G capable client? If not, just go with the default setup.
Connection scheme:
Singtel ONR 10G port -- GT-AX11000 Pro 10G WAN -- wireless/wired connection to other devices (eg: Asus AImesh node)
Singtel ONR 1G port -- Singtel TV box if you have any
Configuration of GT-AX11000 Pro if you keep the Singtel ZTE XGS-PON ONR as main router (not bridged)
1) AP mode -- many features of the GT-AX11000 Pro will be lost.
2) Router mode -- Double NAT -- some features of the GT-AX11000 Pro will be lost
Configuration of GT-AX11000 Pro if you get the Singtel ZTE XGS-PON ONR bridged by Singtel (through request)
ROuter mode -- all features of GT-AX11000 Pro are available
GT-AX110000 Pro Spec:
https://rog.asus.com/networking/rog-rapture-gt-ax11000-pro-model/spec/1 x 2.5 Gigabit WAN Port
1 x 10 Gigabit WAN/LAN Port
4 x Gigabit LAN Ports
Limitations of the above setup
No 10G client supported.
2. Using Stock Singtel Setup + 10G Switch
improvement (no bridging of Singtel ONR) -- adding a 10G swtich
Singtel ONR 10G port -- 10G switch -- GT-AX11000 Pro 10G WAN -- wireless/wired connection to other devices
10G Switch -- 10G capable devices like PC or NAS
Singtel ONR 1G port -- Singtel TV box if you have any
Singtel ONR 1G port -- other 1Gbps wired device
improvement (with bridging of Singtel ONR) -- adding a 10G swtich
Singtel ONR (bridged) 10G port -- GT-AX11000 Pro 10G WAN -- wireless/wired connection to other devices
GT-AX11000 Pro -- 10G/5G/2.5G/1G Switch -- 10G/5G/2.5G/1G capable wired devices like PC or NAS
Singtel ONR 1G port -- Singtel TV box if you have any
3. Bridge the Sintgel ONR and using your own 10G capable router (eg: pfSense, Unifi, MikroTik, etc) and only use Asus GT-AX11000 Pro as a wireless AP
For real power users only. I am not one of them so I will let others to comment.
