[Elavarasan]

@luckyph How did you know BSNL is changing from Ericcson to Juniper, nationwide? (Btw remove your user id from log)

@varkey
Is Ericcson not that good anymore?

 

[Realme]

Btw has anybody in the forum were given Huawei EG8141A5 or TP-Link XR500v?

How was the experience(Were they comparatively better than other non-branded ONT/dull media converters?)

 

[AAK]

Can media converter be used instead of onu to be bridged with another router ?

 

[varkey]

@AAK I don't think so, cause this is a PON, so you need a device which understands that.

@Realme My guess is that the Ericsson device is out of support/warranty etc and in most cases renewing the support/warranty plan for a legacy product costs almost the same as the cost of the hardware. I am guessing Juniper quoted a lower price when it came to renewal.

Given the Juniper's reputation in the internet router scene, lets see what BSNL makes our of it

Btw as your are on ipv6, how reliable is BSNl's ipv6?

 

[Joyous]

Is there any 'Practical' benefit for using IPv6? If I configure for IPv6, then if IPv6 is not available, the router will default to IPv4?

Thanks

@luckyph is there any ipv6 config documentation for open-wrt devices ?

No idea.
