Bypassed Telus's 3G NAH box with an X-ONU-SFPP (8311) — here's what you need to know

Successfully replaced my Telus NAH box using an X-ONU-SFPP module loaded with 8311 software. Big thanks u/sengh71 who pointed out the Alibaba listing — picked it up for just over $100 CAD, compared to >~200 CAD it would've taken to import the WAS-110:

If you don't have an SFP adapter for initial setup, there's one extra step not covered in the standard guide

For Ubiquiti users specifically — the SFP module uses a static IP (192.168.11.1) which won't be reachable by default. To access it from your main network, SSH into your UDM/USG and bridge the address to br0:

ip addr add 192.168.11.2/24 dev br0

This lets you hit 192.168.11.1 from your browser on the main network. From there, change the SFP's IP to whatever fits your setup, then just follow the rest of the guide as written.

A few quick notes:

• After swapping the fiber into the SFP module and rebooting, it took about a minute to come up — Very Fast
• Highly recommend adding a heatsink — this thing runs HOT

Has anyone else done this? Let me know cause I'm curious how many Telus users bypass the NAH

EDIT: Also getting 3.1 Gig Down and 3.0 up, ping is reading 0 on ookla

1x UCG-Fiber ONT/NAH bypass via X-ONU-SFPP
1x USW-Pro-Max-24-PoE - Mounted via 3d printed mount, there's spacing off the wall and don't want to buy a rack if I don't have to.

Offscreen is a server connected to the USW pro via a DAC cable, and DAC between the fiber and the switch.

Haven't had such a good experience in my life, amazing products.

Have a google cast at the bottom and an amplifier for some speakers with yolink there. The white box on the top right is the (now deprecated) NAH box
