Hub 5x Modem Mode appears to be here - 15/09/24
Is it just me, or is it just another glitch, or is it finally here for everyone...? I now have Modem Mode as a normal menu option. Anyone else?

im going to pull the trigger and a WAS-110 SFP+ Module and just replace the whole hub 5x altogether. I know it is "unsupported" but given that the hub 5x doesnt do wifi well, dhcp well, or dns well its a lame duck in the loop that I want rid of.

Unless you can clone the settings from HUB5x with regard to fibre connection then its unlikely to work. Its not the same principle as a GPON SFF for BT/Openreach and more akin to Nokia ONT lockdown that is checked against the OLT. I could be wrong, but I believe it's not just "open" access.
It seems that a few people have done this, a somewhat involved process which includes configuring the WAS-110 module with the PON serial number and MAC address taken from the label on the hub 5X.
there's 100% a way of doing it, im not talking about the specifics but google is your friend (what I said im buying and the name of the isp).
Hey Drefsab, thank you or reaching out and how did this go?
Is everything okay for you?
You shall have to write about this technical matter in a different forum.
The last post referencing the approach barely lasted an hour before it was deleted.
