Enabling Bridge mode not possible now without static IP address because of CG-NAT?

[tr1k0N4]

I'd recommend AX10 or if you have the budget the AX53.
And yes, C6 will also work.
But nowadays, enabling the bridge mode yourself by changing the Port Mode settings is a hit or a miss, just keep in mind.

@sgajjala Yes, C6/A6 will work. But I suggest those models are quite outdated now and TP-Link is still milking the legendary A6/C6 to make profit. You should get an Archer AX series router, it will perform much better and it is one time investment.

@Ajay15 @tr1k0N4 These models are available in Amazon

TP-Link archer AX10 for 2799

C6 for 2199

Should I go with AX10 instead of C6?

AX series is always better even if none of your client devices support it. MU-MIMO, QoS etc are more stable in AX routers. You will experience less speed drops, less ping spikes.

@sgajjala , if no budget issue then go for this -

Amazon.in

@MrGordon Sorry for tagging
Is the Huawei HG8120C better than the TP-Link XZ000-G7/G3 ?
Do you have any other ONT suggestions other than HG8120C ?
How did you purchased the HG8120C ?

@MrGordon I enquired about the HG8120C through indiamart.
They have only OEM-Based products (ONT with Huawei chipset). Will it be same as the original product? (Like GPON Cloning Features)

 

[MrGordon]

@Sanemi HG8120C is decent, and it has worked wherever I've tried. However the TP-Link XZ000 has much lesser compatibility. I would recommend the HG8120C.

I'm not sure of the OEM based products, but if its the same thing, should be alright. You could ask them to show screenshots of the UI to confirm. What is the price?

These models are also fine, it's all the same product.

Netlink HG322G
Syrotech SY-GPON-1010-DONT
DBC HGU-V110
Digisol DG-GR6011

@MrGordon The UI looks similar to the OG Huawei ont in the pictures.
I have a V2801SG with GPON S/N Clone option but it’s not working
The alternatives you mentioned are VSOL based right ? With GPON S/N cloning

BTW from where did you get the huawei ont ?

 

[MrGordon]

Yeah, those are VSOL based. I had posted about a command which would allow you to change the SN from the CLI. Maybe the same works for V2801SG - How to Connect TP-XZ000-G7 to Airtel Xstream Broadband?

Huawei, had purchased a while back, had ordered from Alibaba with few other items.
