What Ubiquiti equipment are you using? Doesn’t their router top out at 3.5Gbps?

UDM Pro USW-Pro-Aggregation USW-Pro-48-PoE US-XG-6PoE Recently bypassed AT&T's residential gateway by getting a XGS-PON on a SFP+ stick, let me shave off 2ms and gain a couple hundred mbps each way, in addition to removing their crappy gateway.

  Which stick did you go with?

      Dear lord, that is the gnarliest looking SFP I've ever seen. Thanks for the links, this looks great!

        It's a full ARM stack in there. Can even SSH and telnet to it for a real shell, and it runs a web interface.

  I thought it wasn't possible to bypass the BGW due to certs?

    This is the XGS-PON bypass, GPON bypass is different and 802.1x (cert) based. XGS-PON just requires cloning the serial number and MAC of the RG.

The BGW350 that they give you tops out at 5Gbit on the WAN SFP interface and has one 5Gbit RJ45 LAN interface along with two gigabit interfaces. I connected the 5Gbit to a TP-Link TLSX105 10Gbit switch which has five 10Gbit RJ45 switch ports. Since my office is on another floor and has more stuff that needs to be hardwired, I have a TP Link TLSX1008 10Gbit switch that has eight 10Gbit switch ports. I connected the two together and, presto, 5Gbit for everyone. My Macs have OWC 10Gbit Thunderbolt NICs so they can each get the full 5Gbit. I tried using a Mikrotik CRS switch/router thing, but dealing with SFP inconsistencies is annoying as hell and it was a very slow router. (You need the higher end CCR routers to get 10Gbit routing, but I just wanted to have all of my devices use the Pi-Hole for DNS, which I could do with DHCP.)
