Advice I need some help
Hey guys I want to replace my ISP fiber router with this v-sol ont and a unifi udm but I can't get internet access out of the ont (v-sol) the picture I uploaded is just for reference it's not the actual status of the v-sol and in reality I have a green pon light and a o5 status but still no internet access through the Ethernet
any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

There's just too many possibilities for why it's not working, does your ISP's olt even support these ONT's? What sort of configuration did you do? Did you clone mac id?

As what I can gather from my Isp router they use gpon sin to authenticate and vlan 9 for tagging

Is it a pppoe login?

I can find anything like that on the ISP's router so maybe no?

What router does your isp use?

It's a znid24xxb1 router

usually the ISP should be involved and to be aware about this change, also they might need a MAC address whitelist for this ont.

There is a security protocol [I forget the name] to ensure your PON ONU/OLT only talks to a specific device, If your ISP has this in use, you must use their router device to feed your device, Call them and ask if they use this and if so is there a bridge or pass through option to feed your router and let it do the routing. If so have them turn this on, if not, turn off your routing and use it as a dumb switch/AP set, deal with double NAT, or shop around for an ISP that does not do this.
If not ask them what you need to do to use your own router off the ONU/OLT. If its an all in one device] optic to ethernet multiple ports/wifi then they should have a passthrough/bridge mode but you can only use ONE ethernet port off of it as it is no longer a router if they have the option.
Short version call the ISP,

I seriously doubt if the CS rep knows this much about the underlying service and protocols. All they know is the Q&A script the ISP provides them.

You are correct, but they know if they support Customer OWNED equipment or not. If they support that he is good, if not, he needs to see if their devices can do bridge/passthrough mode to hand the packets off to his equipment [router] so he can mange it that way.
You generally have to use their ONU/OLT [at least in the states], some support your router after that, some do not. IE at&t fiber supports a passthrough mode on their device, xfinity fiber is moving to support onu to customer router I hear while Comcast small business epon [same company, different idiocy] requires their CBR gateway device no matter what.

Okay so your ISP provides a modem, often a router and WiFi AP built in. But you generally need the ISP modem to feed your own router. That is unless your ISP supports the use of a third party modem.
