I just upgraded from Comcast/Xfinity and am trying to get my network, specifically my router working without the current cascading setup I have running after the upgrade.
The Fiber is connected to the Calix 716GE-I, port 2 is active. I upgraded the cheap cat 5 provided to a shielded cat 6 cable which connects to the WAN on the CenturyLink installed ZyXEL c2100z router. From there LAN 1 is connected to my ZyXEL USG 50 for now.
I had been using a ZyXEL USG 50 but would like to move to a Linksys LRT214 or a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 5 or 8 port
Questions for the community.
1. Can I connect directly to the Calix 716GE-I with my router or does connectivity pass though the ZyXEL c2100z?
2. Setup of PPPoe, everything I have tried fails to connect the CenturyLink will only advise to use their equipment, any help with settings is appreciated.
3. Thoughts on Linksys LRT 214 or the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter?
4. Any other relevant items I should look into?
On a side note, they did arial to underground with the line dropped till the spring. I will be installing conduit so I don't have to pay for their bury service and deal with them chopping up my sprinklers. Anyone had any experience asking CL to come back out to run the fiber through conduit?
Thanks
