Open the HG8245H case (carefully) or log into web interface (192.168.100.1 user: root/admin or telecomadmin/admintelecom) and check: firmware huawei hg8245h gpon to epon

Common dual-rate chips: Lantiq PEF98035, Broadcom BCM6838 — some support both.

If you are lucky, your device might already be unlocked. If not, you need to enable "Telnet" or "SSH" access. Telnet/SSH (if enabled): WAP> display optical WAP> set

Flashing the firmware is only half the battle. ISPs are smart; they don't just let any box talk to their network. They look for specific serial numbers, passwords, and hardware versions (like "2803.E" for EPON vs "2803.G" for GPON).

The interesting part of this write-up is the cat-and-mouse game played by users. Because Huawei firmware is cryptographically signed, users cannot always edit the configuration easily. The solution often lies in hex-editing the firmware image or using specialized tools to spoof the GPON SN / EPON MAC and LOID (Logical ID) parameters to match the ISP's requirements. Check boot output via serial console (UART):

The Huawei HG8245H is one of the most popular Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) used by ISPs worldwide. By default, these devices come locked to a specific PON standard—either GPON or EPON.

However, many users want to repurpose a GPON device on an EPON network (or vice versa). This guide covers the technical feasibility, risks, and the general process required to cross-flash the HG8245H.

Even if you succeed in flashing a so-called "GPON to EPON" firmware, several problems remain:

Many users report that after conversion, the ONT registers on the EPON OLT but gets no DHCP lease, or syncs but drops packets. Full functionality is rare.
