Airtel V-Fiber (VDSL) - Link Drop & Other Issues [HELP]

[waterloo_sunset]

@CutestDevil under Local Network>DHCP Server set dns servers 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

Under Advanced>DNS select set manually and again enter 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4

Disconnect and reconnect wifi and check if it happens again. If all else fails set a static IP on your phone/laptop and monitor. Also update wlan drivers if any.

@waterloo_sunset thanks for your reply, i was already been using google dns servers, now what i did was ,again set up wifi mode to B,G and channel to auto and have set static ip on laptop,so far no issues till now..lets see how long it goes... the most strange thing is this whole ordeal is i dont face a single issue on mobile or tablet irrespective of any setting in router,only issues in laptop,i am also using latest drivers for Wlan...the sad part is that i can't configure most of the advanced vdsl settings because of auto-updated airtel firmware :/,they have restricted those settings

Again same issue,unfortunately nothing seems to work..seems like i have to live with it,its quite frustrating experience,airtel not ready to change router as well,the only setting with which i can use it for long without any issue is channel 9 and b,g wifi

@CutestDevil that sounds more like a driver bug or incompatibility with D-Link 224...i face a similar issue with my laptop only with jiofi the wifi adapter gets disabled on it's own with a red cross but the other laptops/phones in the house are unaffected and the same laptop works just fine on the home wifi so go figure

@waterloo_sunset , yes kind of same here, this same wifi connection works fine on my mobile and tablets..even when connected directly through ethernet port - i face no issue at all... not able to figure out whats wrong ,when i check connection stats in router,it shows upstream errors when this happens, even right now it shows -
Up Stream FEC Errors 17817

My Huawei modem is no longer able to hold the sync for more than 10 minutes. I've been offered Beetle 777VR1 as replacement. I told them to give me a D-Link or anything other than Beetle/Binatone instead but it looks like they don't offer them in my area anymore. How's the 777VR1 working out for you guys? Can I go for it or should I wait for them to restock D-Link/Huawei?

777VR1 works great for me. No problems since the last 2 months. I don't think Huawei/D-Link would be back in stock again as they prove to be costly for them over their in house production(beetel/binatone). They were there till the time their inhouse productions didn't had much supplies.

the D-Link has better wifi range but other than that could not find much of a difference

Both Binatone and Beetel modem are doing quite well, no more issues with both modems.

Thanks guys, surprisingly the service rep was able to find me a D-Link DSL224. Very stable and the range tops Huawei.
