I currently have 100/100 mbps frontier fios service on the portland, oregon area. When it was installed, the tech gave me a Zyxel HLA3105 coax hpna bridge, so my current setup is like this ONT->coax->Zyxel HLA3105->ethernet->my own personal router (not the one provided by frontier). I will try to return their router to them to avoid being charged the $5/month router rental fee...
Anyways, this setup is working fine but when I looked at the specs for the Zyxel HLA3105 coax hpna bridge I saw that for some reason the ethernet port on it is only 10/100 and not gigabit. So I figured that this will probably be a bottleneck for my maximum down/up speed since I have 100/100 service and there is usually some data transfer overhead? (correct me if I am wrong about this) So I thought I would try and find either an hpna coax bridge with a gigabit port on it OR a router that supports HPNA WAN which I could just configure to use as a bridge.
The trouble is that I have had a very hard time finding either of these things. It just doesn't seem like there is a whole lot of information about this...
So does anyone know of any hpna coax bridge with a gigabit port on it OR a router that supports HPNA WAN which I could just configure to use as a bridge?
I was looking at all of the products listed here: HomePNA - Products - Member Products but I can't seem to find any that do what I want and are available to purchase.
Since frontier also offers a 150/150 mbps service where I live they must have a bridge/router that supports gigabit ethernet OR maybe they just require using the ethernet port that comes directly out of the ONT which I looked up the specs for and it does say it supports gigabit ethernet. I have considered this option but it would involve drilling holes/running wires and it would just be more convenient if I could avoid this...
EDIT: well I just found this post which is about a year old but seems to confirm that I would need to just run ethernet to the ONT to get any higher speed...
