![]() ![]() The upload being limited to 750 is a bit unfortunate but still, that's pretty damn good. TBH if I decided that I really wanted a UDMP for whatever reason, I'd stick with bell's 1gbps plan. As a result, most Bell 1.5 subscribers that I've heard from who want to use a third-party router tend to use PfSense on an old spare PC that they install a 2.5gbps-compatible NIC into. Ontario and not their DHCP territory, which I believe is Atlantic Canada) on the UDMP is broken and caps out, I think, around 1.2gbps, so this produces minimal returns over just plugging the module into the UDMP and having it limited to 1gbps. However, the PPPoE implementation (assuming you're in Bell's PPPoE territory e.g. You need to set some VLANs on the WAN port for your internet and IPTV to work, there are detailed guides at the dslreports forums and maybe r/bell. You would need to get a US-16-XG for $789 CAD or another switch from a third-party vendor that supports both 2.5 and 10gbps, plug the Bell module in on one port at 2.5gbps and plug the UDMP's WAN port in on another port at 10gbps, the switch will handle rate conversion of traffic between the two interfaces. You can remove the SFP+ module from the HomeHub, but unfortunately it is a 2.5gbps module and the UDMP only supports 1 or 10gbps, not 2.5. Thanks u/Improvement-Neat for the clarification about PPPoE.īut the UDMP's WAN port is only 1 gigabit Another solution is a custom pfsense router. You might still be limited to 1.2 Gbps due to the PPPoE bug. This is also how I get IPTV to work with TELUS.Įdit: You might still not be able to get 1.5 with Bell and an external switch because they use PPPoE, and the UDMP has a performance bug with PPPoE being very slow. You can then use the UDMP for Internet and WIFI, and use the Bell router to connect it to the Bell TV box to get IPTV to work (and turn off WiFi on the bell router). Both the Bell router and the UDMP will obtain different WAN IPs. If you use an external switch to connect the SFP+, you can also connect both the UDMP and the Bell router to the switch. However, you can still get IPTV to work via an external switch. This is how I get 1.5 Gbps on Telus.Īs for IPTV, the UDMP does not support a feature called IGMP proxying which is needed for IPTV to work. There is a costly solution and that involves buying an external switch like the XG 6 PoE or 16-XG (~$600) that supports 2.5G SFP+, and connecting the SFP+ to the switch, then the switch to the UDMP. The UDMP only supports 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps SFP+, but nothing in between. Has anyone seen a current guide for a Bell customer using a 1.5gig SFP and getting full speed while still having IPTV and phone work? Is there an easy way to make this work? One of the things I like about the Ubiquiti gear is that I can do everything through the GUI, so I'd rather not go that way. There are thousands of pages of people discussing this but I haven't seen a clear "this is how you set it up" that wasn't pages of command line configuration. I've seen people talk about plugging the Bell SFP connection into the UDMP so maybe that's an option, but Bell uses VLANs for IPTV and phone as well (apparently VLAN 34, 35, 36) and I'm not sure how to set that up. But seems like I'm going to leave half a gigabit unused. I definitely don't want to use their hub and wifi - I like having controller's monitoring and intrusion detection, among other things. Bell seems to be expecting that you'll use mostly wifi, and you can get the 1.5gb speed through multiple Wifi devices or a combination of ethernet+wifi, but only through their wifi. Cool.īut the UDMP's WAN port is only 1 gigabit, and the ports on the Bell hub are 1 gigabit. Bought the UDMP to be ready for Starlink, and then out of the blue, Bell runs fiber down my street and offers 1.5 gigabit fiber.
