ADMZ HH4000/Giga Hub Latency

[DPS1]

Hi All - I've posted a few times about this over the past year plus. I've tried ADMZ on several HH firmwares and just tried again on the latest (1.9x). I'm using a UNIFI Next Gen Firewall which displays latency. Within minutes of rebooting the HH and the UNIFI router, i receive a public IP and all working. But as you can see from the image i attached, i start immediately to get up to 70ms of latency. I switched back toa  double NAT and the latency disappears which you will see in the image. And yes ive tried PPOE with several routers including a XEON based Pfsense and i just cant get much bandwidth (1.4 down and 300 up). ON ADMZ i get 7.5Gigs up and down and same on the double NAT. Bottom line the firmware still isn't working well.

You are likely going to run into the same issues due to the PPPOE overhead.

Will be interesting to see what happens though.

only half true. I opened a business account and my device is "officially bridged". I have done this is two locations. On the other hand, you're right, its not the same as bridging a Rogers modem, but it kills all features and access to the GigaHub and they "claim" it passes the traffic through without hitting any of the GigaHub logic. And i will say again as i said earlier, I've yet to read where anyone has got ADMZ working well. For me is a ton of latency and i tried on five different routers (Sophos XGS, UDM SE, UDM SE MAX, Firewalla Gold pro and a big Microtek). All the same result.

nope - been running for four months with the Pro Max UNIFI and maybe once a week i get a 5-10 second latency issue, which frankly i think is on the Bell end. My connection is solid.

This is why I will stick to my plan for as long as possible, as I use the GPON directly to ensure it's properly bypassed. 

That is the only true bridge mode as far as I am concerned.

Thanks - have you attempted any custom XGS-PON solutions? I want to bypass the GigaHub altogether at this point - very frustrated with Bell.

[OctoInferno]

I heard they will try to move people to GigaHub as much as possible. The module is soldered to the board and not removable. Lucky if you have a HH3000 with a removable ONT module.

[DPS1]

yes - i have purchased and configured two of them. The both worked well, although the stick gets crazy hot and they recommend pointing a fan at it, which is nuts. Then when UNIFi updated the firmware on the UDM Pro Max, i got such a solid connection, i put them aside. 

[OctoInferno]

You mean a solid connection via PPPoE and bridge mode ( basically holding OK and RESET for 7 seconds ) ? 

if so, interesting. I may return my SE and get a ProMax then…. If it’s that stable.

[DPS1]

I did this as well with the HH3000. it was such a nice solution. 

[DPS1]

correct - although i wouldn't call it a reset, the latency just lasts a few seconds and then corrects itself. If you get the Max, don't forget to enable Release Candidates for the OS updates. You want to be on the latest version which is 4.15

[OctoInferno]

Oh interesting! What specifically did they do in RC?? Fix PPPoE?? I know it has been an issue with UniFi for a long long time. If so, I will try it on my SE - right now, I am on the official channel.

[DPS1]

i cant recall if they documented a PPOE fix, but yes, that's exactly what they did. Should work on the SE as well. But only guessing.

Are you using PPPoE passthrough or ADMZ now ?

[DPS1]

PPPoE. ADMZ never worked well for me. tried on several routers. But PPPoE has been very solid.
