Awaiting install of 1gb service with Unifi Ultimate Dream Machine SE

I'm about to have my Community Fibre 1GB package installed and have a new UDM-SE that I intend to use with it. I currently have an older Unifi set-up (non-fibre) that I will repurpose the access points from for use with the UDM-SE.

I'm not super technical, so grateful for any advice as to what (if anything) I should request during my install.

I presume I will have not requirement for the Linksys router, but one will be left during the installation anyway? Or will the installer only set-up the equipment with the Linksys router and I'll be left to switch in the UDM after they leave?

I have read (on Reddit from someone getting the 3gb service installed) that people have asked the installer for a SPF+ module which allows the ONT to be linked into one of the UDM-SE SPF ports. Is that the best option for me? I presume that for the 3gb service this is an advantage (as the UDM ethernet ports at 1gb) but won't offer much (any?) performance benefit for me on the 1gb Community Fibre package?

Anything else I should consider?

Thanks!
 
The new Adtran ONT on the 1Gbps service has a 2.5GbE interface. So you no longer are limited to 940Mbps and get the full 1Gbps. The installer will setup the ONT & Linksys router and should confirm the speeds before he leaves.

Once your happy, all you need to do is configure the UDM-SE WAN port for DHCP IPv4 and connect to the ONT. You could use the UDM-SE SFP+ WAN port to connect at 2.5Gbps but need the right SFP+ that can negotiate at 2.5Gbps. It will definitely work with the UDM-SE 1GbE WAN port.

The 3Gbps service ONT has a 10GbE LAN interface so is why the 10Gb SFP+ port on the UDM-SE is the recommended configuration.


This SFP+ can negotiate at 2.5Gbps.
 
Thanks! For the sake for 60Mbps I think I'll stick with just the 1GbE WAN port. Thanks for explaining it to me.
