They use an ONT. I think Raj is referring to his ONT as the "router they provide".BOTJ wrote:Do ViewQwest connect the Asus RT-AC87U directly to my FTP or do they also use an ONT?
BOTJ wrote:Hello, they provide a free modem/router however I am upgrading and purchasing the Asus RT-AC87U. Nothing has been installed yet. However having recently visited my new apartment I have now noticed that the FTP is in a utility cupboard and all the rooms have ethernet sockets that run from the utility cupboard. I would prefer not to have to place the Asus RT-AC87U in a utility cupboard however if it also acts as a modem (ONT?) + router I guess it will have to go in there? Yes the MR diagram is good; VQ should offer a similar one
Can't you just plug the ONT in in the closet?BOTJ wrote:So what would act as the ONT?
The ONT is essentially a modem for your fiber connection. It will have a fiber input, and (minimally) an ethernet output. The one MyRepublic provides has a number of ethernet ports and can act as a simple router. Most people in your case would have it configured for bridge mode and plug their own router in behind it.BOTJ wrote:I dont know what the ONT is. Is it the Asus? Is it something else VQ supply? Should there already be an ONT in my utility cupboard?
good idea! most of the ONT's supplied don't provide wifi capability anyway, he can put the ONT in the closet, patch the cables from various rooms into the ONTzzm9980 wrote:Can't you just plug the ONT in in the closet?BOTJ wrote:So what would act as the ONT?
I'm not sure whats the story with VQ, I had M1, M1 supplied the ONT only when I had initially subscribed for their 40Mbps service and I purchased my own router, but a year later they offered me a free ASUS router when I upgraded to their 200Mbps service.BOTJ wrote:I appreciate the ongoing replies to my OP. So do VQ supply 2 devices; the ONT as well as the Asus router?
