PON SFP compatible with AIS

[Ronit Bhattacharjee]

It’s a long shot, but here goes.
 

I currently have AIS fiber at home. The GPON fiber terminates on AIS’s ZTE router (In Bridge mode) and my own router hangs off it and does everything else.
 

I would like to get rid of AIS’s router altogether and terminate the fiber directly on my router using a PON SFP (Also called PON stick). 
 

Now, in general, this requires extracting anything from the provider ONU serial number to MAC address, authentication keys (how many parameters depends on the ISP) to the new PON stick. 
 

I would like to know if anyone here has done this specifically for AIS and if so, what exactly did they need to do. 
 

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried contacting the ISP? They might be able to help. 
 

If you want to ditch your router and want a cleaner solution, you could use a Huawei EG8010 ONT. You can find them on lazada. There is a guide here on how to put them into bridge mode.

 

I am on 3BB which has been bought out by AIS. I use the Huawei ONT which I get from the ISP, it’s rock solid, apart from when I move house and then everything goes to crap - there is a guy at the 3BB office who actually does understand and he helps me out, there is a bit of config on the isp server afaik. You could try contacting someone on the ISP team and explain that your want to use the SPF port on your own router. 
 

I was a structured cable engineer, it’s not really my dept. but there would be a cab in a data center that would contain the kit for the ISP. You wouldn’t have a bank of cheap wifi routers in bridge mode hanging off the back of the shelf. What do they do in Thailand? Try speaking to anyone at the ISP about enterprise solutions and  no one can speak to you. Good luck, just out of interest, what are you using a unifi or fortinet router?

Thanks, but I really want to use my own router, which is quite high end and has WiFi 7 etc. 

 

I will try to talk to AIS about the SFP, but don’t have much hopes.
