I only had to configure VLAN300 and the TV signal was available without having to configure VLAN640. You will not attach the fiber cable to the router and will have an ethernet cable coming out of the splitter to your router. I learned that (some?) new customers will get their fiber to the home using a GPON splitter. It is also possible with the Edgerouter 6P or another router without the switching chip. I have set it up with the EdgeRouter X SFP. Last week I was asked to setup a T-Mobile fiber network at someone’s house. My household has stopped using the T-Mobile television and switched to streaming services only so we have cancelled that subscription and only use the 1000mbit internet connection. It has been a while since I did something with the T-Mobile fiber network. Do this in the ‘802.1Q VLAN’ configuration and the ‘802.1Q PVID setting’. Create VLAN300 and attach it to the correct ports where your (internet) devices are on. I have done the following in my switch, a TP-Link TL-SG1016DE. If you have extra switches behind the first switch, you will need to configure a trunked VLAN port and transmit both VLAN’s (300 and 640) on that port. In order to correctly browse the internet using the wireless access point (which has a very basic default configuration, nothing special) and/or use the internet on any other wired device, you will have to assign each port to the correct VLAN. These configurations can be done using the Config Tree in the console, from top to show configuration | no-moreĪ screenshot from the EdgeRouter Dashboard after the configuration: Allow NAT for VLAN300 for the internet traffic.Create a few default firewall rules to block harmful traffic.Creathe ETH2 without an IP adres (T-Mobile will handle that itself) with VLAN640 attached for IPTV.ETH1 has VLAN300 attached for the internet traffic. Creathe ETH1 with local IP adresses in the 192.168.0.0/24 range.Split ETH0 in to ETH0.300 for the VLAN300 and ETH0.640 for the VLAN640 traffic (internet and iptv).Create ETH0 for the WAN connection, with DHCP enabled so it receives it’s (external) IP from T-Mobile.What this configuration does is the following: These are port mappings, static IP assignments and passwords. The switch has (multiple) Ubiquiti UniFi access points attached, a few wired devices (laptop, Ikea Tradfri gateway, a computer) and a (trunk) connection to another managed switch in the living room for my Playstation, TV and HTPC.īelow here is a copy of my configuration, with a few details cleared. The ETH2 is (in my case) directly attached to the IPTV box. The LAN connection is on ETH1 and is connected to an managed ethernet switch. Let me talk you through it The fiber connection comes in at the fiber converter and is attached to the ETH0 interface of the EdgeRouter-Lite (ER-L). In the diagram below, I have drawn out my setup. These VLAN’s will be made available in the switches. Later on, we will devide our connection using a bridge in to two seperate VLAN’s. We will have to do the same in our configuration. T-Mobile seperates this traffic in their own router. VLAN300 is used for the internet traffic and VLAN640 is used for the IPTV traffic. But for now, this configuration is based on the EdgeRouter Lite 3.Īt first, we need to know that T-Mobile seperates the internet and IPTV connection using VLAN’s. Which is roughly the EdgeRouter X with fiber port and the EdgeRouter Lite combined. But I think that I will buy the new EdgeRouter 4 when it comes to the Netherlands. I have chosen to use a fiber to ethernet converter, the TP-Link MC220L. The configuration looks a lot like the KPN Fiber and Vodafone configuration, but is slightly different. The amount of configuration information on T-Mobile Thuis fiber connections with EdgeRouter equiptment is a bit scarce. So a router with built-in switch is not required. Update 10-2021: I have updated this post at the end since it is for (some) new customers possible to configure only VLAN300 for both internet and television.
