Currently there's no way to replace recent boxes (Delta, Pop and the brand new Ultra).



please tell me it's a joke

It's not. All 3 have an internal ONU and until now no compatible 10G-EPON ONU has been found on the market.

However all 3 support a bridge mode, which makes them (power consumption apart) almost the same as an ONU.

this is sad to hear, having a high bandwidth plan only to be limited by mandatory hardware... oh well, thanks for giving me closure on several weeks of searching and asking around, I did find it weird that there is no documentation available on how to replace a freebox with a custom router.

hmmmm, I wonder, if I request for it, would they provide one of those "boitier fibre" that other ISPs have between the wall and the box ? (Unless those can't do SFP+ speeds, in which case it makes sense that they didn't get us one in the first place)

The revolution light plan comes with an external ONU. It is connected to the box through an SFP connector. Indeed, this is limited to 1 Gbps.

Hi everyone

Does someone can provide here the datasheet of 10G-EPON SFP ONU  from whuan technologies (wtd.com.cn doesn't seems to be reachable from outside China, including HongKong) :

I need the datasheet of  WTD RTXM166-401-C13
and of  WTD RTXM166-401-C11

The actual datasheet posted on this forum is for WTD RTXM166-401 but doesn't specify the part '-c11' or '-c13'.
What is the difference between the 2 references ?

Kind regards
nbanba

Hello,
For me, the only external ONU I know that may support Free's 10G-EPON is this one:
https://www.fs.com/de-en/products/185594.html
If you see comment from this site: https://hack-gpon.org/xgs/ont-fs-XGS-ONU-25-20NI/
you should be able to update firmware to enable 10G-EPON mode as it is the same hardware that is supporting both 10G-EPON/XGS-GPON.

Hello

@Fuli10
Thanks for answer which may help me but which is not the answer I was needed.
I want to know the difference between the -C11 part and -C13 part of WTD-RTMX166-401-CXX module (I would access the inside EPROM and change the firmware on a WTD-RTMX166-401-C13 transeiver to use it in my FortiGate firewall XAUI port to mount a 10G-EPON Symetric link without using Freebox, and maybe I will need to use XGS-PON transceiver like WTD-RTMX166-501 or the one you purpose, after modifying its EPROM code)

I need the WTD-RTMX401-C13 datasheet but I cannot access wtd.com.cn from outside China (I already try to access from HongKong without success as if the company had been sold or closed but Wuhan Telecomunication is still registred at Blumberg Stocks, so maybe WTD still exist)

Thanks again for help
hope someone have the '-C13' datasheet

Kind regards
nbanba

Bonjour,
In the meantime, have you been succesful in your quest to use a custom router? I understand there are 3 ways:
a) setting the original Free-equipment to "bridge mode" and then connecting your router behind the "Freebox-in-bridge-mode" via RJ45
b) getting Free to install an external ONU/ONT (e.g. via the "revolution light" - plan) and then connecting your router via RJ45
c) modifying the firmware of a ONU/ONT - SPF connector so it clones the authentification-data and then plug this connector into the custom router into it's SFP-slot

Is my understanding correct?

Kind regards
