[akgunplay]

@akgunplay Can you please let me know if it works for you. I will try do the same. Getting sick of this Airtel router.

@Rudra123 Got the xc220 router yesterday, set up took a couple of minutes and it is working fine. Did not need to enable bridge mode or anything else. Replaced the airtel router with xc220 and using archer c6 in access point mode.

Thank you @tr1k0N4

My nat problem is still strict, I guess buying static ip is the only option now.

@akgunplay could you please explain a bit on the archer c6 being in AP? I just need to replace the airtel ZyXEL router with something decent. Was thinking the same xc220 but is it must to buy another hardware like the C6 and without it the xc220 won't work or something?

Sorry I'm an amateur.

@jujuburi no brother, you do not need another router. I am using another router archer C6 with xc220 to extend the range of the wifi coverage.

In your case, you can simply replace the airtel router with xc220.

@akgunplay thanks for confirming the same bro. By this weekend I'll try to purchase the xc220. If I need any help I'll message you. If you have any telegram or similar pls mention. this forum has no pvt msg option.

Don't worry brother, I am sure other members like @tr1k0N4 who are more knowledgeable than me will definitely help you.

And I keep checking this forum every day, so I will make sure to help you in case you face any problem.

Just bought static ip as well. I put in a request by mailing them last night at 8.39pm. I got a reply on the mail that the request would be completed in 72 hours at 3.01am, my internet went down for a minute and then started working. Without even entering the static ip details my internet was still working on pppoe and I was getting moderate nat instead of strict nat which is good progress.

The engineer called me today at 1.38pm and said the router will be configured by the back end team now, so they don't have to visit my place. But then he asked me whether I am using the airtel router in bridge mode, and I said I am not at all using the airtel provided router and he got confused. He is like, that is not possible, and I have visit your place to check the settings. I am like fine as long as you give me the ip, mask and gateway details lol.

He visited my place after half an hour and was shocked to see I was using a TP-Link router directly. I told him since airtel wants to lock everything down on their routers, folks have found ways to use their personal routers, he understood my point.

He gave me the static ip details, I changed pppoe to static ip and entered the ip address, subnet mask and default gateway in aginet app and it started working. I was still getting moderate nat, then I enabled full cone nat in the router settings. I am glad to report that I now have full cone nat.

Already played a couple of gta 5 sessions and I had an amazing time. No more disconnections and no more strict nat.
