Has anyone connected directly to their router with an SFP and PPPoE or another method? I'm looking for the right 10Gig SFP, but I'm not sure what one to get
I have a Ubiquitiy UDM SE gateway/router. Currently I have a 10 Gig SFP+ to RG45 with a patch between it and the HH4K's 10G RJ45 port. I'd like to eliminate the HH4K and go direct if possible.
thanks.

It seems that each piece of equipment behaves differently (HH4000, FW:2.14, Location: QC )
- ER-4 - Experiences packet loss with DHCP and double NAT, but works fine with ADMZ. However, after a modem reboot, I need to reset ADMZ; otherwise, packet loss occurs.
- UCG-Fiber - Works reliably with DHCP and double NAT. ADMZ also functions correctly, but only when PPPoE is configured. No VLAN settings are required.
- HH3000 (used) - I extracted ONT from it, but I haven’t been able to get it working at all. At this point, I suspect the unit may simply be defective.
Update: Solution could be It looks like ONT needs to be activated for account.

Easiest is to connect the UDM Pro to one of the gigabit ports on the home hub. It should work with double NAT.
You cannot take the fiber cable and connect it to some random SFP+ module. That will for sure not work.

Never heard of the 5 year rule, I doubt there's such a thing.
Some people use a SFP+ to ethernet convertor, which could be a Mikrotik or other brand.
Double NAT: Double NAT.
Despite all the apparent problems it causes I saw no difference with or without it. A lot will depends on the router used, but the UDM Pro will have no lack of processing power to avoid network slowdowns.

There is no bridge mode for Bell modems that are using PPPOE.
The UDM Pro will struggle to keep high speed PPPOE work well. It has known limits with PPPOE, often resulting in poor speeds.
If you are using it directly over an ethernet port without PPPOE it will work much better.

Good Day & Welcome.
You cannot connect the Bell fiber cable directly into a standard 10G SFP+ port on your router. Bell uses proprietary GPON/XGS-PON authentication, and their fiber is connected via a specialized SC/APC optical connector. To connect your own router via SFP+, you must connect to the 10G port on Bell's Giga Hub.
Take care.
