Metrofibre Feedback

[system32]

I am using an OPNSense Router/Firewall and just copied the PPPoE info from the Nokia UX; I have not had a problem in 2 years.

My Nokia Router is in the cupboard since day 1 - they did not want to give me credit for giving it back.

I'm using an RPI5 (was RPI4)

Debian 13 (Raspberry OS Lite)​

Systemd networkd configured vlans​

PPPoE - copied the username and password from the router connect via VLAN 16​

nftables firewall (based on OpenWrt settings)​

eth0 connected to trunk port on TP-LINK IEEE 802.1Q VLAN capable switch​

VLAN 3 - internal, 7 - IoT, 8 - Guest, 16 - MetroFibre ONT​

wlan0 (WiFi)​

Standby wifi client to LTE/5G when no fibre​

Docker​

pihole - DNS & DHCP​

vnstat - network performance monitor​

wireguard - VPN​

smokeping - network monitor​

samba - backup share​

homeassistant, iot stuff​

Wifi is provided by a mixture of Cudy (WiFi6) and MikroTik (WiFi5) APs flashed with OpenWrt, connected via ethernet cable to TP-Link switch

Tested with:

• MWEB on MetroFibre
• PluxNet on MetroFibre
• AfriHost on OpenServe

Works well, low latency, stable. secure

Been using RPI4/5 as a router for last 6 years - never going back to a dumb single function router.
