Home Broadband Upgrade Fiber network notes

Before, heard that the home has been upgraded optical network, even the mother's home has been upgraded to complete the 20M, in the heart that envy jealousy hate ah. Micro-blog muttering several times, has been looking forward to the light network transformation to our community early.

Application

June wait for a long time Telecom optical Network upgrade finally turn to my home community, unavoidably a little excited. In fact, the competition of the broadband operators in my home district is still very fierce, from time to time there is a network of friends and Unicom's community broadband promotion, compared to telecom action much less. However, South Telecom North Unicom (formerly Netcom), the basis of bandwidth construction there, I will not change his home anyway, this broadband also have to choose telecommunications. It's not, it's finally waiting.

Remember very clearly, it is Friday, June 22, the day after the summer solstice, is a year in the 2nd long day of Daylight time, but also telecom to our community stall the first day. Back to the door of the community is already 6 o'clock in the evening, the sky is still very bright. Although the leaflet is written on the stall time is 9 to 4 points, but I still hold to try the attitude to the community center of the square to see. Surprisingly, the stall of the telecom sister paper has not withdrawn, this positive work attitude is really moving ah! So hurriedly handle.

My original package is 4M ADSL, can be directly upgraded to 10M fiber, but if you want to upgrade to 20M fiber, you need to add a 3G mobile phone network package. Research, found that the package is also super power, select the Internet version can have 1GB of 3G Internet traffic and 600-minute phone calls, are nationwide oh, to answer the phone nationwide free. Select the call version of the 1200-minute call and 300M traffic. Choose the Internet version decisively, because the 600-minute call is enough. In this era of micro-faith and FaceTime, who will have so many calls to fight? Well, forgot to explain, the 3G package bundled in the broadband package together, converted down, only 6 yuan a month to spend more money. To be honest, adding 6 yuan to 20M fiber is also a good deal.

Wait a second, there is a binding condition, that is, at least 1 calls a month, with mobile phone 3G on a net, otherwise, you have to spend 30 yuan more money. But think about, that 1GB 3G traffic, put there not much waste ah. This is why I bought a telecom version of the Millet mobile phone origin. (My colleague @ Devil's Tulip is better than me, he only buys a 500-more Samsung Android phone)

Installation

The application is busy decadent overtime, the Dragon Boat Festival began 40 consecutive hours did not sleep. It's been almost a week since we thought about it. But there was no movement. June 28 I could not help to the telecommunications construction team called (phone number posted on the notice), how the construction team said did not see my work list. To each of the road to call the call check, after a few toss, finally help me to make up a work list.

July 1 Sunday, early in the morning, the construction personnel came, only one person. Light matching frame in the 9 floor (our building altogether 12 floors, 3 floors and 9 floors each made a light matching frame), I went to help draw optical fiber, and master chat. The telecommunications of these projects are outsourced, the master is Anhui people, dark and dark, quite honest very polite, hands and feet very deft. Telecom with the light of the cat is pre-configured, master fused to the fiber head, plug on the cat, registration can be used. It can be seen that telecommunications do not give these outsourced staff too much training, the internal configuration of the light cat is basically not let move.

But this master is very kind, in my sharpens hard grinding, but also made it clear that they are IT employees, the equipment of the internal configuration is very familiar with, he still help me call, to the Telecomadmin administrator password.

Debugging

Network pass, Master also removed, my turn to toss.

"4 Client Limit"

Because the telecom light cat itself with the router function, therefore, the own broadband router does not need, but still want to use its WiFi function, so I turned off the Tp-link DHCP, the LAN port, the wireless broadband router as a wireless AP to use. Then configure the optical cat router, open some port mapping, remote management of what functions (Note: These require you to have the Telecomadmin Administrator password).

Measured the next speed, Thunderbolt download 2.5mb/s, it is true that the rate of 20M has been. But then found the strange instability of the problem--ipad not even the internet. After a while, the ipad can be connected to the Internet, the iphone is not connected. Try to try, is not stable, not the Internet, that is not on the. Afternoon, can not help, to install the teacher called to ask, Master told said, telecommunications light cats up to 4 devices, more than even on the. I see! My home has 2 desktops, 2 laptops, 2 iphone, 2 ipad, 1 nas, AppleTV and 1 millet mobile phones, a total of 11 devices need to surf the Internet, this only 4 devices to do online? Call number 10,000th under the way to ask how to deal with, answer Yue oneself to pick up a router just fine.

So I changed tp-link router configuration, WAN Port changed to dynamic get IP mode from the light cat scratch address, and then turn on DHCP. This way, all of my WiFi devices, including Iphone/ipad/android/appletv and laptops, are all WiFi clients, using the Tp-link router to access the Internet. The 4 clients of the light cat are 2 desktops, a NAS, and a Tp-link router, which is also a sufficient set. Tested a bit, and sure enough the problem solved.

However, this always feel bad, because their own tp-link router to do a 2-layer NAT, I have a bit of it people's cleanliness, or directly change the cat into bridging mode bar. I searched the internet for a few documents about the cat configuration. So at night the Light cat was changed from routing mode to bridging mode, while the home router re-enabled PPPoE. This, and the original ADSL basically exactly the same.
