Hi, I have the YF500 and a static ip. I'd like to connect my FritzBox 7530 directly to the ONT (instead of via the supplied Arris router)
I can daisy chain the routers OK but I'd prefer a direct connection. (less devices, simpler topology etc)
I've read https://aoakley.com/articles/2022-10-05-youfibre-technical.php#static
Ive :
- set the FritzBox to receive internet via ethernet on LAN1 as a DHCP client.
- Set the DHCP host name to 'dsldevice' (same as supplied router)
- spoofed the Arris Mac Address,
then power cycled the ONT, but it will not connect.
There is no option to set the DHCP Client Identifier (Option 61) on this router - but I've seen other people mention that they have this combo working.
Is there anything else to do or should I just contact YF support?
[UPDATE]`
I changed the IPv4 Connection from DHCPv4 to a Static IP and put in my static IP , subnet and public DNS and it works.
As I have a static IP from the ISP - I'm going to stick with this for now.
Maybe the DHCP lease will expire upstream and I'll try it again tomorrow.
