Thanks, I know the vega marketing says 7 kilometers, I've used them before at 4 kilometers with at 4REN, I agree the grandstreams are cheap and as someone pointed out not very good for line length, I planned to get my hands on one and test it at furthest location, the Versa dslams (which are re badged planet's) are running from a private reply I got run up to at least 3.5 miles with speeds averaging 16mpbs down and 1 up, so cheaper gear sounds ok, and my understanding of the dslams a child can enable it, its very user friendly and I've used both types of gateways before and both are easy 3 minute setups. I dont envision huaweis or nokias being 3 step user friendly :) On 5/2/20, Tarko Tikan <tarko@lanparty.ee> wrote:
hey,
But this all results in a sh1te load of 48 port gateways (power is not a concern), but wondering if there is another solution that is more cost effective? Seems the regular NEC's Siemens and so on might have an option but I can imagine it will be far more expensive than a bunch of individual gateways.
Huawei was already suggested and Nokia ISAM also works very well for your application

Majority of the small consumer gateways (including the 48p ones) will not work on long loops, they are ment to be used inside a building etc.
