SFP ONT Stick - BE88U - IPTV

[BorjaAday]

I tried installing an SFP Stick ONT on my Asus BE88U router, but I ran into a major problem.

My ISP is Movistar, and it offers tagged traffic in 3 VLANs. There's a profile already created in the Asus firmware that works perfectly. The problem arises when configuring the router with the SFP port as the primary WAN. When activating the SFP, a message appears warning that it will disable IPTV, and when activating IPTV, a message appears stating that it will revert to the 10Gb RJ45 port as the primary WAN port.

I'd like to know if there's a solution and if this limitation is due to the firmware or the router's hardware. The ONT synchronizes perfectly with the OLT, as tested on a manageable switch, but if the router doesn't allow me to activate the IPTV service, I'll never get connection.

I want to clarify that I currently have everything working (Internet, IPTV and VOIP) with an external Huawei ONT, but I wanted to take advantage of the SFP port to avoid having another device on the table with its corresponding cables.

Thank you in advance, I will give you any additional information you may require.

For this router, you don't need to adjust this under LAN, but under WAN.
On the Internet Connection tab, enter the provider's VLAN. On the DUAL WAN tab, enter the primary WAN.

Thanks for your response! I’ll give it a try, but I’m afraid it won’t work with my ISP. My ISP provides traffic over 3 separate VLANs, one for internet, one for IPTV, and one for VoIP. In this case, it only lets me specify one VLAN, which I assume should be the internet one, but that will probably cause my TV set-top boxes to stop working. I’ll try it and update the forum.

Best regards!

I'm exactly at the same situation. I want to use this router as the only one to get internet through the SFP port with a GPON module and with IPTV working. I tested many configurations. The better one I get it to work is:
Dual WAN, setting SFP as primary WAN
Configuring PPPoE has primary WAN in VLAN 6/1
LAN, setting IPTV as "Movistar Triple VLAN" (after the advertisement message of change of WAN port, you have to ensure that the WAN have remained in SFP.

With that configuration almost everything is working, internet, live streaming in TV, except for TV menus, zapping and delayed playback of programs which are too slow or even not working at all.

Looking for a solution, I conclude that the problem is that IGMP Proxy is not working when IPTV is setted, at least using SFP port as WAN interface. Because Movistar need unicast for TV.

Anyone could confirm this assumption of the problem and or know if it could be workaround. Or anyone know if it would be fixed in the future?

Best regards.
