3.) Where to put the fibre box or ONT in your home

As part of the installation process, you'll want to decide the best place to put your ONT or fibre box, so you can get broadband to all the spaces you need in your property. We talk you through how to decide that and how we get the fibre cable to the fibre box inside the house.

I have a council 50 plus bungalow, with 1 sitting room and 1 bedroom. Accessed from 1.5 mt square entrance hall.All fixtures that have lights on them need to be upout of cat reach. I wonder if this was a good idea. All this modernisation seems to bring a stream of new problems.

well, actually the ONT is the modem, the other peace is the wireless gateway or wifi router

On Saturday the installer mounted the ont 1/3 over my metal door jam & the rest in a corner. Every time I close the door the cover falls off. I can put my hand behind it & it’s hanging on by a thread. My hallway walls also have 2 ft. Black streaks from where a ladder damaged them. The two Customer service (they could barely speak English) said they would not relocate it & avoided the walls needing repainting. Never would have thought they were as bad as xfinity. Unbelievable !

Don't do what AT&T did at my house. I just bought a house in a very hot climate. The ONT was installed in the attic. THE ATTIC! I was having connection issues the past few weeks and after checking the ONT's lights, I touched the box and man was it HOT. So hot you could not hold your hand to it. Moved it out of the attic (wires were long enough) to a cooler area. The Internet has been fine. Put it back in the attic and within 12 hours, it was hot and malfunctioning again. And with it being in the attic, I can't put a UPS on it if I wanted too.

It looks a simple thing to be installed but the reality is that the cx never wants to pay the price to have the cable crossing in front of their houses to reach a specific spot , or drilling internal walls and run this cable internally to reach center point of the house. On 90% of the time they want to avoid any external or internal cable running..

Etp, chorus does this? Our fiber is underground ready to wire up to outside of the outside wall

@ChorusNewZealand 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Karen, yes we bring the fibre from the road to the ETP and then do the internal installation of the fibre ONT. To get the installation done you just need to sign up with a broadband provider of your choice. They will arrange for us to do the installation work. ^DR

Can i plug a lan cable straight into the ONT lan ports?

@Elldubbieyou Жыл бұрын

No you still need a modem gateway - Those ports are only for the modem or testing

@erniepaj Жыл бұрын

So of you have CAT5 cabled pcs, you can connect to the ONT already?

@notme5744 Жыл бұрын

You can connect to the ONT via an included router/modem and connect to the router with CAT5 cables (CAT5e or higher would be best)

I'm really sorry for writing this comment. Hello, my name is Steven from Korea. I have been in Christchurch, New Zealand with my wife for about two weeks. In Korea, my job was optical cable connection engineer and I have worked for over 20 years. My dream is to work as an optical cable connection at a chorus company in New Zealand. But I can't speak English at all. Is it possible for me to connect optical cables in New Zealand?I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me how. Yutv, please teach me how to do it.

Given a lot of people are complaining the people who were sent to install could not understand the complex questions we all want to ask during an installation I think we need a very very good English test tested with real consumers' questions using local language, so probably not.

Companies don't pay for xtra hard work involved leading cable to centre of house. Tech goes easy install with front room due to easy savings of time but it doesn't worth to cmr. cmr can put some xtra quids to ask tech to lead his cable to corridor or centre of house. Cos modem will be good benefitting from here

That is my worry. I want it right round to the back of the very big house outside and then straight through wall into my back office.

Why are all the ONTs installed at a height below the knee?? Is it not better closest to the ceiling???

@ChorusNewZealand 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dominique, we do have a minimum height requirement so ONT's aren't too low but we have found most people like them low and out of eye line. You do however have the option to get your ONT moved to a desired location, within reason. To do so you just need to make a request with your broadband provider. ^DR

You should be able to, depending on the modem/router. You'll still need a contract with the fibre broadband supplier though

All you need is a wireless router, then you connect your devices via WiFi or with ethernet cables.

Isn’t the ONT already the “MODEM” but for optical cable, therefore, it connects to the routers instead. Vise what he says -ONT to modem?

In this case modem and router are considered the same thing and interchangeable. ^DR

@FatLerke 2 жыл бұрын

Yes lu m, modem and ont are the same they demodulate a signal or essentially swap it from one format to another cable to ethernet or in this case fiber to ethernet and the router supplies wifi not the modem

Hi there, in this example we are using the terms modem and router as interchangeable. So, the ONT to modem means ONT to router. ^DR

@@tgm9991 That's true, but I think most people confuse the two and think that a router and modem are the same thing and so it's easier for them to understand. It's like how most people now call the internet WIFI. I'll be dead before I start calling it that though... 🤮
