BSNL FTTH-Fiber on an unlocked Airtel Xstream Router (Nokia G-2425G-A)

@mintdrgn44 BSNL binds WAN MAC of ONT.
So you need to clone WAN mac of old ont to the new one.
You can also view the mac details by login to the BSNL ecare app

Hey man. Thanks for responding. I am a bit confused by these terms. Does ONT mean the stock BSNL router? Also i couldn't find the Ecare app on the playstore but i did find an APK so ill try it

@Sanemi

I cant find the app. the one i downloaded is not installing. Can you link me the app?

 

[Sanemi]

@mintdrgn44 Yes it’s the stock bsnl modem(ont).
The app is currently not available in play store.
You can download it from apkpure.
Btw you can also do the MAC address reset by contacting the LCO

Hey man. I tried it with the BSNL Mac address i got from the screenshot as well and yeah..still not working.

You were talking about the case of MAC address when replying to @harman22. Even though i use all caps when using "ritool set MACaddress", the letters in the macaddress still shifts to small letters. Could that cause an authentication error?

 

[tr1k0N4]

What could be going wrong, I wonder

 

[mintdrgn44]

@tr1k0N4 @Sanemi @ifly_rana

Anything more that i can try out? Some other thing to diagnose?

Should i rollback to the original mac address and ask BSNL to bind it? (assuming that is the authentication error that is mentioned in the log dump)

 

[Sanemi]

@mintdrgn44 Did you tried cloning the WAN Mac of Default BSNL modem to the Nokia ONT/modem ?
If the wan mac not working then try resetting the MAC address

I may be wrong but the Alphion olt’s are locked so you won’t able to connect any third party modem/ont to their system

 

[mintdrgn44]

@Sanemi Yeah man. I did that first. Then i tried it with the Mac mentioned in the Bsnl app. Still no dice. Log says authentication error again. You can see the log dump in page 4 of this thread

Update: Only the last two characters are different in the MACs of the Stock router & the app

Have anyone successfully made this work?

Ask BSNL to bind it after rolling back to the original MAC.
