I have had poor performance (constant zoom dropouts) while working from home using ATT’s modem. I was able to bypass ATT’s modem on my fiber connection and wanted to document up the hardware and software needed.
Hardware:
UDM PRO
Gtek GBIC Transceiver
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L6PQ6I2
Software:
https://github.com/pbrah/eap_proxy-udmpro
Process:
- Setup your UDM behind the ATT modem and get it online using (att’s fake) ip passthrough.
- cat5 ont->att modem (ont port)
- cat5 att modem (lan port 1)->udm port 9
- enable SSH on the UDM under SSH AUTHENTICATION menu item
- following https://github.com/pbrah/eap_proxy-udmpro instructions run the following commands
- ssh into UDM
- docker pull pbrah/eap_proxy-udmpro:v1.1
- change wiring to:
- cat5 ont-> udm port 9
- cat5 udm port 10 -> Gtek GBIC Transceiver -> att modem (ont port)
- ssh into UDM
- podman run –privileged –network=host –name=eap_proxy-udmpro –log-driver=k8s-file –restart always -d -ti pbrah/eap_proxy-udmpro:v1.1 –update-mongodb –ping-gateway –ignore-when-wan-up –ignore-start –ignore-logoff –set-mac eth8 eth9
Notes:
- It takes a few minutes to settle you can watch the log to verify
- docker logs -f eap_proxy-udmpro
- The modem will alternate blinking green and blinking red on the broadband led. This seems to be normal and does not inhibit the UDM from working as expected.
