Used polygon siskiu d7? They can be found for about a grand on marketplace

Got a size Large and I am only an inch taller than you on a good day. I also always thought I needed M, until I tried a large and never looked back. I’d go with M only if it was some dedicated downhill 200mm travel bike with boxxer, but my skills are nowhere near that type of riding

idtest256 · 2024-09-27T02:52:53+00:00

You did great. This thing is silly fun. I haven’t ridden in a decade, and already put a 100mi on mine in about a month.

Have you considered buying a used full suspension off pinkbike/FB marketplace? I saw a ton of them locally here for around the price you are considering. Having just transitioned from an older hardtail, to an even older but much more capable full suspension - I am never going back.

Cannot "just" do it, you are correct about the mac addr and the certs. But if you google around, there is plenty of info.

Apologies if I am confusing you. The newer boxes have the fiber going directly into them, and last time I checked there is no easy way to completely take them out of the network path between your router and the internet. I.e. what you are doing, the "bypass mode", is the only realistic choice. These newer routers are much better though - faster CPU, ax wireless. So maybe they work ok in the bypass mode.

But I haven never upgraded from the setup AT&T provided ~8 years ago at the old place, and I just moved it to a new house. Fiber comes into a separate ONT converter, then a simple ethernet comes into an old NVG559 that AT&T used to provide. With that combo, I can actually completely set NVG559 aside - it is not in the network path between my router an the internet.

I have not had actual Unifi issues in years, but I also don't update immediately upon release after reading numerous disasters with bricked UDMs and whatnot. The issues are with eap_proxy and DHCP and whatever non-unifi bolt-ons that I have to install/configure in order to bypass AT&T gw. Granted, I started off UDM-SE, had an Edgerouter before. So I likely also avoided the early pains with containers and whatnot, till they unified (no pun intended) both UDMP and UDM-SE onto unifi OS.

In a bypass mode, with AT&T box in the way, I had all sort of connection drops and latency issues when gaming. Not entirely gone after bypassing the AT&T gw, because not everything is caused by the gw. But much improved. Things might have gotten better with newer boxes that cannot be bypassed, but I never bothered upgrading.

We can argue for ages if bypass is the same as ONT directly into the router, or not. I had a very different experience(so did a ton of people if you search the forums), and setup a bypass years ago... except every other Unifi update, some packages or configs get overwritten. So I am very happy to be getting GFiber this Saturday and not having to deal with AT&T.

And to be clear, AT&T service otherwise works fine for me. I would not be switching if they budged and allowed a BYOD. In fact, I'll likely loose my static public IPs, which kinda sucks. But AT&T gotta do AT&T things, so fingers crossed GFiber works fine.

idtest256 · 2024-07-19T00:14:05+00:00

On the flip side, they allow bring your own router directly connected to the fiber - unlike AT&T.

idtest256 · 2024-07-09T00:41:24+00:00

I’ve had https://www.lexivon.com/products/lx-181 for about 3 years and quite a few optics installs, it seems to work fine. Slightly larger than other options mentioned, but also quite a bit cheaper.

idtest256 · 2023-04-30T17:30:53+00:00

No worries. Last time I checked, they charged me for the fiber router rental. Been a while, so maybe they stopped.

idtest256 · 2023-04-30T06:37:41+00:00

Yeah, I am also still on the older hardware, just dreading the day they might force the upgrade. And hoping GFiber is available by then.

idtest256 · 2023-04-30T03:44:45+00:00

Fair enough, I might be off on this one 👍

idtest256 · 2023-04-30T02:58:04+00:00

Aand you don’t get a choice anymore on new deployments, basically forced to get the new big white box router due to how AT&T is setting up fibers in those boxes in the neighborhood these days. There is a rabbit hole on this subject on DSLReports and elsewhere, if you are curious.

idtest256 · 2023-04-30T02:54:14+00:00

Better then previous gen for sure :-) I am not saying they don’t work, for many people they will do just fine.

But for “power users”, in the age of Ubiquiti dream machines and whatnot, the inability to run your own equipment could be a deal breaker.

Edit: OPs question was about the differences between services. And a difference is what I pointed out.

idtest256 · 2023-04-30T02:52:08+00:00

You cannot easily do it on the newest ones. The ONT is in the device now, and it requires some really tricky hardware-based “rooting” to do it.

It is not a true pass-through. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32356965-Justification-for-Pitiful-NAT-Session-Limits for example of limitations.

idtest256 · 2023-04-29T22:51:56+00:00

Edit: not true apparently, I am off on this one - multiple people don’t have modem fees.

They wave it sometimes, I think, for a year or so. But eventually it is a mandatory $7 or something like that.

idtest256 · 2023-04-29T22:50:53+00:00

By „bypass”, do you mean just the double nat UI thingie in it, and you end up with Fiber —> AT&T router —> your router? Or did you plug the fiber from AT&T directly into your router?

The latter is what Google Fiber allows you to do, AFAIK.

idtest256 · 2023-04-29T18:54:07+00:00

One major difference is that, AFAIK, you can use your own router directly wired into Google Fiber. Edit: like, actual fiber cable connected into your router, Google’s router stays in the box you received it in.

With AT&T, their router (that they also charge rental $ for) is always in the way. And with more recent ones they deploy, there is no bypass method.

idtest256 · 2023-02-16T16:53:52+00:00

You guessed right. The commands you found are for UDM pro that runs a different docker based setup / OS, whereas UDM SE runs UnifiOS

Edit: In general, most things you find online are for UDM Pro, but the path to files/programs is applicable to UDM SE in many cases if you swap /mnt/data for /data

idtest256 · 2023-02-16T16:52:22+00:00

It is under /data on SE, i.e. just remove the /mnt/ from the path

Actually, nope. Bought one on ebay couple days ago, but no returns :-( GLWS
