Hello everyone. Simple question / what is the cheapest MikroTik switch model that supports a GPON/XPON module inserted into the SFP port of a MikroTik switch and bridges it with the other Ethernet ports (ONU router )? [S7ac9ab35281f42258cbca76fc666a3c05]

[image] drotz: Other than a box less This, and fewer cables and power adapters. When the ISP overprovisions, you can achieve download speed over 1Gbps with the GPON module because you are not limited by the 1GbE port of the gateway. There were ISPs in my country with whom you also can "cheat"…

[image] laithusa: what is the cheapest MikroTik switch model that supports a GPON/XPON module Honest answer would be: none. ROS doesn't explicitly support these modules in a sense that it doesn't explicitly support configuring them. Generally it is possible to get around this shortcoming by c…

Thank you. Do you mean I have to use gpon/xpon modules manufacured by MIKROTIK only ?

No, you can take a look at this repo and the documentations/guides from there for the RTL960x chip that is very common (and that is also in the ODI module you pictured above I think): [image] GitHub - Anime4000/RTL960x: Hacking & Reverse Engineering RTL960x-based xPON... Hacking &…

Not necessarily the cheapest, but I've been running this setup for a couple of years now on a RB5009UG+S+ just fine [CleanShot 2026-09-16 at 09.01.48@2x] Once you've got the configuration dialed in you never need to touch it directly (unless your ISP changes something big on their end). It's ins…

Yes, your FS.com one uses the same chipset as my G-010S-P FS.com GPON ONU Stick with MAC (GPON-ONU-34-20BI) | Hack GPON . According to that page, even the firmware is interchangeable.

[image] laithusa: Do you mean I have to use gpon/xpon modules manufacured by MIKROTIK only ? I don't think MT even have their own xPON modules ... so it really is down to "luck" to find some 3rd party module which actually works with MT and which allows to access its management UI by applying…

why not ? This item is from MikroTik [image]

That one has been long discontinued, if you read this post / thread, since at least 2019. [image] Mikrotik GPON ONU General It can be the reason why it’s now discontinued. Too bad, GPON seems popular and I’m sure people would much rather have something well su…

Using mikrotik switch as OPTICAL ONU router?

That one has been long discontinued, if you read this post / thread, since at least 2019.

It had a lot of problems, and according to this recent thread, has even less support from RouterOS than the other modules from 3rd party manufacturers:
