Supersonic HG8245D Substitute

[Sparky_za]

Hi guys
Wondering if anyone has successfully replaced this unit with anything different? I'm redoing my WiFi and if possible I'd like to replace this wifi/ONT combination with a standalone fibre termination unit. Supersonic doesn't have a clue what I am asking so they have been no help at all.

Generally as a FNO you dont have various type of ONTs that you will swop out, as they standardise. perhaps it's the way you asking for it. Just tell them you would like to have the wifi turned off on the ont and that they need to reconfigure the device in order for you to use your own router attached to that ont? in other words they need to reconfigure the ONT to a layer 2 device.

Supersonic/MTN

So it's not, Vuma, Octotel, Openserve, Frogfoot, MFN, Balwin etc that owns the physical fibre? It's MTN?

Is that correct?

Yes, that's correct

Yes, that's correct

@PBCool or @websquadza it appears MTN use a CPE / ONU/T combo similar to FF Air or Vuma Reach.

Do you have any experience of this? I've not seen this before.
