Huawei ONT OptiXstar HG8010Hv6
Hi All
With an optical fibre installed on an H/// ONT, is it possible to connect my RAX80 directly via LAN the provider has its WIfi router that does not support modem mode?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks
David
Same applies to the ONT.

Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. https://kb.netgear.com/25891/DMZ-on-NETGEAR-routers

3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router.

Try option #2 first...Thank you, that is a very kind and prompt response, but there is no modem only the ONT?
