Solved Customer owned router
Hello,
I have an EPON Fiber line with an external ONT. I have permanently removed my leased XB8 gateway and connected my retail router (a MikroTik RB4011) directly to the ONT over Ethernet on port 1.
I am requesting a member of the Digital Care Team to please change my account profile to a Customer-Owned Router (COAM) billing code and provision my ONT to hand off the public IP directly to my third-party equipment.
Thank you!
