Hi all,

I have inserted a Cisco GLC-T 30-1410-02 Module into the SFP+ Port of the Netgear R9000 in order to use it as a normal network port like the others as I don't have SFP+ Devices here. That module should be compatible to the Router as per Netgear.

When I connect a Windows Computer on that port it says "Connected to unidentified network - no network access" and it looks like it is just that no IP address gets assigned.

I tried router restart already, but that did not resolve the issue.

Do I have to adjust some settings in order to make this work? As far as I understood the SFP+ Port is referenced as eth0

The following is the output of ethtool eth0

Code:
Settings for eth0:                           
        Supported ports: [ ]                 
        Supported link modes:   Not reported

        Transceiver: internal                 
        Auto-negotiation: on

                               drv probe link
        Link detected: yes               




Output of ifconfig eth0

Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xxxxxxxxx       
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1   
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

Thanks and brgds,
Philipp

Thanks, now I see why it was cheap. Will return as incompatible and order a Netgear one.

FWIW I have been using this one for over a year without an issue.

The one you link to is a 10Gig module, not a 1Gig version 02 module.

The SFP+ port on the R9000 10 gig, no need for a 1 g or "version 02" module as the 10 gig works just fine with non SFP+ devices (none are on my network).

No clue why someone would want to get a 1G SFP+ module for that 10G port, as cost is the same?

I have no issues with a 10G module if it works as well with the RJ45 cables and a Server/PC with 1G network card attached. The one you mentioned is however not available anymore. Are there some other tested ones available?

I just got the Netgear AGM734 and it produces exactly the same issues as the Cisco one. I tend to believe it is something about what devices are accepted by dd-wrt and not the router itself. Not sure if it can be found out which are compatible and which are not other than trial and error?

Finally I got it working with this module:

RJ45 Ethernet Transceiver - 10Gtek 10G Base-T SFP+ RJ45 Copper 30m for CSC (Data rates 1.25G, 10G, multi-rate)
https://www.amazon.de/Transceiver-10GBase-T-Kompatibel-SFP-10G-T-S-UF-RJ45-10G/dp/B01M8O3MAL/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=10Gtek+sfp+RJ45&qid=1614181995&s=computers&sr=1-3


I have compiled a list of SFP+ Modules from this painful exercise. Maybe someone with Wiki access could add it to the R9000 page so others do not have to go through this again? https://forum.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Netgear_R9000

---------


R9000 List of dd-wrt compatible SFP+ Transceivers

Do NOT rely on the compatibility list by Netgear as it is based on stock firmware.

Working:
- Fiber Optic Transceivers (Multimode) - 10Gtek for Cisco SFP-10G-SR, 10Gb/s SFP+ Transceiver module 850nm, 300-meter
- 10GBase Ethernet Copper Transceivers + Cable - Cable Matters SFP+ 10GBASE-CU Passive Direct Attach Copper Twinax Cable 3m Compatible with Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M (Manufactured as one unit.)
- RJ45 Ethernet Transceiver - 10Gtek Cisco Compatible GLC-T/ SFP-GE-T Gigabit RJ45 Copper SFP Transceiver Module, 1000Base-T (Transceiver works only on 1000Base-T networks; will not downshift to 100/10Base-T.)
(Source: https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1067600)

NOT Working:

- RJ45 Ethernet Transceiver - Netgear AGM734 (although on Netgear own compatibility list)

fibreonic have you tried this one ??

https://www.fs.com/products/75322.html

I already tried/tested - RJ45 Addon Ethernet Transceiver - Netgear AGM734-A0
and its not working or compatible...not fetching IP...but it seems R9000 registers it...

yes the SFP/SFP+ Transceivers from fs.com works on the R9000.

at the moment it's running with the SFP-10GLR-31

Generic Compatible 10GBASE-LR SFP+ 1310nm 10km DOM Duplex LC SMF Optical Transceiver Module
FS P/N: SFP-10GLR-31
https://www.fs.com/products/74670.html?attribute=4254&id=374585


also the RJ45 10GBASE-T SFP+ 30m (SFP-10G-T) works on the R9000 ... but it is getting very hot. If possible use a 10G DAC cable

Would Netgear R9000 work with a DAC cable like this one?

https://www.fs.com/products/74617.html

And do you know if MU-MIMO works for it with DD-WRT?

Also, about SFP, may be someone can help answering this (sorry for off topic) what is the difference between these two 1 Gbps SFP transceivers?

One adds SGMII to the description.

dont know about the fs dac, if its generic it must work..
same for the fs module its recommended to use generic as R9000 is picky on those modules i got one that was named as Netgear compatible and was actually not working, so read the thread above for the compatible modules before you buy... i ended up buying 1Gig FS generic module that works...
also bear in mind those get too hot and R9000 has well known heating issues so you will need an extra fan i believe...(i dont use my SFP module but have an extra fan on my R9000 Wink )

Yeah, I'm not planning to use the RJ45 transceiver with it, just asking in general for other devices Smile

I'll try the generic DAC cable.
