Set up an other router

[aoneseller]

Hi. I have an active TOT optic fiber Internet, but no router. I've got a Huawei wireless router from AIS. How do I put them together to use the internet? Thanks.

Do you have a modem to connect your internet to your router? This article helps explain the different, necessary components.

People actually rent modems?  Crikey.  Not something I've come across in the UK but is a US website.

 

If it helps, my parents rented a <deleted> TV in the UK in the 70s from Radio Rentals.

No, I don't have a modem.

What do you want from your modem before you purchase, aoneseller?

Probably I wasn't accurate.. I have an active TOT fibre optic cable sticking out from the wall. Before it had a device (wireless router/modem) but its gone now. However I've got a similar device from AIS, a Huawei wireless router/modem or whatever you call it. When I connect the WLAN light is green and the PON light is blinking green. How do I make it work?

How you know, that your Huawei AIS device is capable of translating the fibre optic signal?

 

You only say it's a similar device. Whatever that means!

 

If the device is capable to understand the Fibre optic signal, then you have to setup in your Huawei device some parameter for the connection. 
My main question would be why you not have a device from TOT, when you are renting a TOT Fibre?
I always have my own router but this setup behind the router from the Internet company (TOT, AIS, True, Loxinfo, or whatever).
So I never have to change anything to my infrastructur. Only replace the Device from the Internet company, setup the DMZ or port forwarding, as everything else will be handled by my router (Which is most case will be the better option anyway to the cheap giveaways).

A fiber optic connection requires a 'registered' GPON ONU/ONT (Gigabit Passive Optical Network / Optical Network Unit or Optical Network Termination) device which is a media converter/adapter that converts the light -based data traffic into electrical Ethernet signals, demultiplexes the proper downstream signal into subscriber streams which becomes Ethernet Internet Traffic.  This can be a stand-alone unit paired with a Ethernet Router or an all-combined unit typically mislabeled as a Modem/Router.

 

What's important is that a front-end portion of the equipment (the ONU/ONT) needs to be properly matched and 'registered' with the Internet Service Provider (via customer provisioning) before it's authorized to function on the network.  An ISP will typically only 'register' equipment they originally source.

Great answer. Thanks a lot.
