It would be useful, to me, if Spark could have their manufacture add the ability to add DHCP options to their UFB modem router.

 

I need option 43 to give my other devices a setting to find their controller.

99.9% of users don't need option 43 or option 66 support so it's not a feature you'll have in 99% of residential or SOHO devices.

 

As for option43 support for a UniFi if you're not running the UniFi software on the same layer 2 or layer 3 subnet it takes 20 seconds per AP to SSH in and send a set-inform to point to an external layer 3 IP. As you're not setting up huge numbers of AP's on the same site and there is very little risk of them being factory reset I can't see Spark wanting to invest in asking Huawei to develop extra functionality for such a small time saving for a pretty unique setup. Most people who have a UniFi AP in a home environment would be running their controller locally so there is no need for option43

 

Is there a reason why you're not letting them manage their own network? Seems a lot of effort to be managing a network remotely for small users unless you're charging them $$ for this.
