hi kids, this is your dad, huahuanjayy wkwkwk, Nuenomaru the handsome is back in action.
Because I just came down from the mountain and we’re about to enter the month of Ramadan. today I’m going to invite you all to briefly review and level up our skills, from GPON FTTH to GPON FTTR.
Perhaps we can briefly discuss what FTTR is:
FTTR (Fiber To The Room) is an advanced fiber optic networking technology that extends optical cables directly into every room, rather than stopping at the home as with FTTH. This technology delivers stable gigabit internet speeds, low latency, and seamless Wi-Fi coverage throughout every corner of the house making it ideal for 4K streaming, gaming, and smart home applications.
Key Advantages and Features of FTTR:
1 Stable & High-Speed Connection: Uses ultra-thin, transparent fiber optic cables (millimeter-sized) installed in every room, delivering more stable speeds compared to conventional Wi-Fi.
2 Wide Coverage: Eliminates weak or “dead” Wi-Fi zones caused by concrete walls or multi-story and large home layouts.
3 Main Components: Consists of a Master Unit (acting as a central hub/mini OLT) and Slave Units (Wi-Fi 6/7 access points) installed in each room.
4 Aesthetic Installation: The fiber optic cables used are extremely thin and flexible, ensuring they do not disrupt interior aesthetics.
Here, I am using GPON ONT devices from ZTE, specifically the ZXHN G8605 (ONT Master) and ZXHN G1611 (ONT Slave).
Next, here is a simple topology for testing Wi-Fi roaming on this FTTR ONT setup.
1 Go to IP ONT and Login ONT Master with superadmin account: admin | Web@0063
2 Create dial-up accounts using either IPOE or PPPoE (here, I am using the PPPoE method).
Go to Internet > WAN > WAN Connection, then fill in the settings according to the DHCP/internet configuration you have prepared.
After that, make sure the WAN status shows Connected.
Internet > Status > WAN
3 Switching Mode
In this method, the OPTICAL port on the ONT Master will be assigned to forward the fiber cable connection to the ONT Slave in each room (via a fiber optic splitter/roset). The uplink of the ONT Master will then be switched to a LAN port.
Go to Management & Diagnosis > Uplink Mode Switch > Uplink Mode: LAN > Uplink Port: LAN 1.
4 Routing
Next, we need to direct the WAN Connection routing to the WAN profile that we previously created.
Go to Local Network > Routing > IPv4.
5 Speed and Roaming Testing
If the fiber cable connection between the ONT Master and the ONT Slave is functioning properly, the Wi-Fi settings will automatically synchronize from the ONT Master.
To test roaming, walk from the ONT Master area to the room where the ONT Slave is installed. Check whether the signal drops during the transition or if the connection remains stable and seamless.
Click the Home menu.
In the WLAN Device section, you will see the devices connected to the ONT Master’s signal, while in the LAN Device section, you will see the devices connected to the ONT Slave’s signal. sample: device client (infinix) roaming done.
Alright, that’s a brief overview of this new technology in GPON infrastructure. Feel free to read this article as well: PPPoE Server–Client Configuration Using MikroTik - Developed further as a reference for building a simple RT-RW Net business
Hopefully, you can also implement this in your RT-RW Net business. For those who are observing, have a blessed fasting month.
Well done, Now you can start by handing out sales brochures to your neighbors or your closest family members. #GGWP
Hahaha alright, that’s a wrap for today’s article—my coffee’s gone, so that’s my cue to stop typing.
Let’s end this with a Bismillah at the start and an Alhamdulillah at the finish. Catch you next time, tech gembelers!.
