I also wanted to “see” what was going on inside the CRS305. And it would connect with the cable modem on ports 1 and 2 using CAT 8 ethernet cables into the QSFPTEK transceivers into the SFP+ ports. The Mikrotik router would connect to the SFP+ WAN2 port on the UDM-Pro over a fiber connection. The goal was to place the CRS305 in bridge mode between the UDM-Pro and the cable modem. 1 FLYPROFiber OM4 LC to LC Fiber patch cable – fiber cable used with the previous transceivers.Īdditionally, Comcast provides internet service with their Gigabit Internet speed and Unlimited Data Option.2 QSFPTEK UF-MM-10G SFP+ Multimode transceiver – used to connect the CRS305 to the UDM-Pro.1 SFP+ DAC Twinax Cable – used to connect the CRS305 to the Switch over the SFP port.2 QSFPTEK 10GBASE-T SFP+ transceivers – used to connect CAT 8 ethernet cables to CM1200 and UDM-Pro.Mikrotik 5 port Switch/Router CRS305-1G-4S+IN – Will live between UDM-Pro and the CM1200.NETGEAR Nighthawk Cable Modem CM1200 – Comcast approved and has LAG capabilities.UniFi Switch PoE 16 (150W) (UniFi Switch).
UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) running the UniFi controller version 6.1.61.The links include where to purchase them yourself: We need to start by listing the equipment. Instead, I’ll include links to write-ups and videos smarter people than me have created that cover different parts of this setup. I won’t go into detail about every change and why I made it. This post shares how I performed this experiment. But this came at a cost of losing speed on the upload side from 40 Mbps to 17 Mbps or roughly half. The short of it: Yes, I was able to achieve the 1.2 Gbps download speeds that I read about online. This required purchasing a small amount of equipment and building more knowledge for myself on networking systems. Reaching speeds of 10 gigabytes over a network connection at home blew my mind.Īfter doing research about these ports, I decided to explore Link Aggregation (LAG) to learn if it is possible to gain speeds beyond the one-gigabit download speed offered by Comcast. In particular, I’ve become curious about the SFP+ ports on the UDM-Pro. The level of insight and control I now have is well beyond my previous Xfinity system. I’ve really enjoyed the Ubiquity equipment upgrade I made this past year to my home network.
