Hacking RTL960x

• Hacking V2801F, TWCGPON657 & DFP-34X-2C2 to suite your ISP Fiber
• GPON market is a mess, plus explicit OMCI cause ONU Stick did not work

Hisense 10G xPON was checked by @YuukiJapanTech, it appear 'might' that support multiple PON mode...

Success Story

List of users has successfully ditch stock ONU!

1. @stich86 2.5GbE Internet
2. My journey connecting fiber internet to my router
3. Hinet users in TW
4. @izhamsatria: ~2.5Gbps on TM Unifi ^{before TIME announce 2Gbps plan in Malaysia}
5. Orange Fiber at 2Gbps (MikroTik 10Gbps CCR2004 router & ONT SFP+) ^{In French}
6. MagtiCom Fiber in Georgia
7. T-Mobile Netherlands replacing Huawei ONT ^{English version}

Where to buy?

ODI DFP-34X-2C2 ^Recommended!

1. HSGQ @ Taobao Mall
2. Fibershow @ AliExpress ^{Choose XPON}
3. CureComp Technology Malaysia

Feature

• Much cheaper than VSOL V2801F & CarlitoxxPro CPGOS03-0490 v2.0!
• Using latest SoC RTL9601D!
• Support HEX PLOAM Password! ^{Using 220304 Firmware}
• Support 2.5GbE via HiSGMII or 2500Base-X! ^{See Compatibility, SpeedTest}
• Using newer SFP Body with intergrated heatsink ^{See Picture}
• Very efficient, just 45°C without fan!
• Automatic/Transparent bridge like VSOL V2801F! ^{Using 220304 Firmware}
• Support 4-port ONU Emulation

V2801F Alternative

1. TWCGPON657 with V2801F Firmware as V2801F substitute
2. Opton GP801R ^{Found by @AreYouLoco}

Feature

• Limited 2.5GbE Support ^{wrong LAN_SDS_MODE can lock you out, no auto switch}
• HEX PLOAM Password require modification from @zry98
• Automatic/Full Transparent
• Support 4-port ONU Emulation
• Modern WebGUI

Triple Play Multiple ISP Problem, 4-port ONU Emulation

• Majority fiber vendor support multiple ISP
• ISP provide Triple Play service (Internet, VoIP & IPTV)
• Vendor supply 4-port ONU for each service or ISP

4-port ONU Emulation

Based on ru-board, xPON Stick with 4-Port Emulation support is limited!

ONU LAN Port Binding example

If you using 4-port ONU like Huawei HG8240H5, Nokia G-240G-E and Router connected to ONU LAN 2/3/4, you have limited option, I recommend ODI DFP-34X-2C2 with 220304 or newer firmware.

Table 4-port ONU Emulation

Here list of xPON Stick on the market that support 4-port ONU Emulation:

✔️ Port Emulation Support

❌ Not Supported

Root mean your ONU is All in One where PPPoE/DHCP ended inside ONU (not bridge/route mode)

PVID is VLAN untagging, at router side, WAN connected without VLAN, useful consumer router such as TL-XDR5480 without VLAN support
