Hacking RTL9601C1

Hacking V2801F & TWCGPON657 to suite your ISP Fiber

GPON market is a mess, plus explicit OMCI cause ONU Stick did not work

Guide, Links, Info

• Setup SFP XPON ONU Stick here
• Utility Link, Firmware Update
• TWCGPON657 with V2801F firmware
• V2801F Auto Reboot
• Modify Firmware

With my issue:

• V2801F
  • Support n-Port ONU Emulation
  • Support OMCI explicit provision override OMCI_FAKE_OK 1
  • Good Firmware, support many ISP (Global)
  • Build not strudy
• TWCGPON657
  • Not Support n-Port ONU Emulation
  • Not Support OMCI explicit provision override
  • Bad Firmware, limited ISP
  • Silm & Tight build

Triple Play Multiple ISP Problem, 4-port ONU Emulation

• Majority fiber vendor support multiple ISP
• ISP provide Triple Play service (Internet, VoIP & IPTV)
• Vendor supply 4-port ONU for each service or ISP

In this table, list of xPON Stick that support 4-port ONU Emulation

	Huawei HG8240H LAN Port
xPON Stick	1️⃣	2️⃣	3️⃣	4️⃣
DFP-34G-2C2 (ZTE)	✔️	❌	❌	❌
DFP-34X-2C2 (ZTE)	✔️	❌	❌	❌
TWCGPON657	✔️	❌	❌	❌
V2801F	✔️	✔️	✔️	✔️

✔️ Port Emulation Support | ❌ No Support

Based on ru-board 4-Port Emulation is limited, not many xPON Stick can understand, only V2801F do support it, because my Internet comes at Huawei HG8240H LAN Port 2 (LAN 1 for Main ISP, LAN 2 for 3rd party ISP)

I strongly recommend to get V2801F or CarlitoxxPro (Realtek), these xPON Stick support 4-port Emulation!

Same Chipset, Different Vendor

• There are many RTL9601C1 out there, not all firmware are interchangable
• V2801F cannot use TWCGPON657 firmware
• DFP-34X-2C2 (Realtek) cannot use V2801F firmware
• TWCGPON657 can use V2801F firmware
