## What it is
A community documentation and reverse-engineering repository for RTL960x-based GPON SFP ONT sticks, including firmware builds, configuration guides, and device compatibility tables. It helps users adapt third-party fiber ONTs to work with their ISP's OLT.

## Use cases
- configure a GPON SFP stick to work with my ISP's OLT
- flash custom firmware on a VSOL V2801F or DFP-34X-2C2 ONT
- reverse engineer an RTL9601CI-based fiber ONT
- replace my ISP router with my own GPON stick
- find firmware for a T&W TWCGPON657 ONU
- troubleshoot PLOAM password and GPON authentication on an ONU stick

## When to choose
- you own an RTL960x-based GPON SFP ONT stick and want to customize or flash it
- you need vendor-neutral documentation on xPON interoperability
- you want community firmware and configuration tips for fiber sticks

## When to avoid
- you need a supported, warranty-safe solution for production ISP equipment
- you are unwilling to risk PON disruption or ISP enforcement actions
- you need a software library or tool rather than hardware documentation and firmware

## Facets
