ONT issues

[Xander Cousins]

Hi,

 

So have an odd question, So we are looking to have the Router and Switch panel in a Specific room, unfortunately, when upgraded to Fibre the FTTP was installed in a room across from it, 

 

The issue is the room it's installed into can't have holes going through the wall and shouldn't have said equipment in it.

 

Unable to relocate the ONT as refuse to pay the £65 to have them come back and be like we can't do that.

 

I am wondering is there any other way to have the ONT transmit to the router Via Extenders or a Mesh network or would that not work? atm its connected via Powerline which is subpar as the Power circuit its on includes the kitchen equipment so you can guess what its like when they are operational. 

 

Any suggestions are appreciated :)

Run a cable seems like the best option. Is there really no way to run a cable correctly? If the isp can do it for 65 seems like a pretty easy run to me.

If it was up to me i would drill a hole in the wall, round the door frame and into said room, unfortunately my father doesn't want the walls touched or any new holes put into it, hence see if possible to use other methods until they do what they want to get the router working in the desired room.

Really try to run that cable. Do you have coax in the walls you could use for moca? 

 

Otherwise try setting up the main mesh node and the router where the ont is as thats probably your best options, and place the other mesh nodes around the house.
