Product Overview
Select the EG8040H6 for a wired installation with a separately selected wireless access point. Its GPON uplink terminates the fiber service, while four Gigabit Ethernet ports determine how local equipment connects. Wireless coverage can be designed independently using a separate access point.
Key Features
- Optical access: GPON, to be qualified on the target OLT and operator service profile.
- Local connections: four Gigabit Ethernet ports.
- Wireless planning: No built-in Wi-Fi; select the access point and coverage plan separately.
- Selection detail: Add a separate wireless access point or Wi-Fi router when wireless coverage is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this model broadcast Wi-Fi?
No. Add a separate wireless access point or Wi-Fi router when wireless coverage is required.
Can it replace any fiber modem?
No. GPON support alone does not establish interoperability. The operator must accept the ONT and apply the correct authentication and service profiles.
Does the interface speed guarantee internet throughput?
No. Port rates and wireless link rates are not guaranteed internet speeds. The service plan, provisioning, network load and connected equipment all matter.
Is a separate router required?
Choose the routing or bridging arrangement with the service provider. The presence of an Ethernet interface does not establish the required routing mode or operator configuration.
