I can only pray this births a ddwrt equivalent for fiber ONTs.
I’m caretaking for my parents who are on ATT fiber with their giant scary black box ONT, and am consistently paranoid of what it is attempting or is doing on their network. This would be a great way to gain more transparency in its operation and possibly open useful features.

There are AON networks that are just a PON behind the scenes but you don't see that.
- somat 2y agoThe ont should not be on their network. The normal state of affairs is demarcation point isp network | your network ---[fiber]---(ont)===[copper]===(router)===(wifi ap) Now having laid out that nice neat little diagram, this is the real world Things are messy, there is a real desire to consolidate boxes. If your network looks like below, My condolences, it sucks when you don't know where the demarcation point is. And I agree, In those cases it should probably be demarcated at the fiber line coming in. Demarcation point ? ? ? ---[fiber]---(ont/router/ap)***[2.4GHz]***
