its showing iv6 connected when did the settings modification but when i am doing ipv6 test its still showing no ipv6 supported any idea

Can I have a guide on how this bridge mode is enabled and a secondary router is added as access point?

Airtel CG-NATed my connection about 2 months back, but, seems to have had a change of heart, it's back to public IPv4 since the last week or so. Also have IPv6 working here too!

I've been on CG-NAT in Bangalore since we got the Airtel FFTH connection in the new apartment complex but it was Public IP even when I had DSL in my house. I'm thinking they tend to implement CG-NAS for apartment complex or clusters with many internet connections. The routing is horrible with bad latency and we can see a noticeable lag even in the most popular apps

Back to CG-NAT. Airtel is claiming that are slowly shifting all users across the country to CG-NAT now.

@MadAxe Can you share the source of their claim?

Can you share the source of their claim?

The Apellate told me so

Still getting a public IPv4 and I think they've rolled out v6 in the area. Checking.

PS - Yep, IPv6 rolled out. It's there on the Nokia ONT and being delegated to any device on the ONT's WiFi. No wonder there was so much of downtime yesterday. A network backend systems upgrade apparently.

Now to check if it works with pfSense, static IPv4 and the rest of my network. I'll update later

Can confirm my Airtel connection has been moved to CG-Nat (Bengaluru)
My Public IP (starts with 127.171.X.X) & the router Wan IP on PPoE (100.102.X.X) is differerent
as soon as the move was done to CG-Nat, all my port forwading stopped working and I am unable to access my homeassitant server remotely

I have sent a mail to Airtel and also raised a complaint asking them to move be back tp Public IP address..

If I opt for a static IP will my issue be resolved ? will port forwading work ?

@deepakdcg it best you go in for a static IP in case you're accessing your home server remotely. Even if they move you to a dynamic public IP it can change at intervals and cause you connectivity issues. Static IP costs Rs 199+tax per mth.

Airtel will in all likelyhood eventually move to CG-NAT in most areas and give out only public IPv6 addresses.
