Has any one of you been successful in using any other GPON ONT, other than the ones provided by Airtel (Nokia, ZTE, etc.)?

I wish to use the xx230v or xc220v, by TP-Link as my primary router-cum-ONT and use my other TP Link Router in AP mode (as I always have done). I believe this would allow me better range, better control through the Tether App, may be mesh support, Wi-Fi 6 (in case of xx230v). What’s better, I wouldn’t have to deal with ZTE’s crappy range & UI.

TP Link AX1800 VoIP GPON Router

mine static ip in bridge mode with zte ont is working well without any issues, zte is one of the best ont I have ever used after 8 ont replacements from airtel.

@hariselio It's only a bridge profile, similar to the below. I have not tried the voice configuration on the HG8120C.

@megamind Yep, static didn't work in bridge mode on the ZTE for some reason. It was bridged by Airtel backend team on a specific port. There is nothing in the UI which indicates that it's bridged. Static IP address not working, could be a bug in the firmware too.

@nishantt6969 Airtel only has the ZTE670L ONT Router, right? Because, that is what I want to get rid of. Since, static IP in bridge mode won’t work for me, I guess I will have to try some other ONT, and if that is what I have to do, I’ll try the SN Cloning first. What do you say?

@megamind Static IP address not working in bridge mode maybe an issue with the specific firmware, and may not be an issue for you. When I was using the ZTE ONT with PPPoE bridged, it worked well.

Also, Airtel provides other ONTs too.

@phattunit did you ever check whether voip works on Airtel with luleey?

With the ODI stick the vlan 660 is exposed to the bridged router but it does not any traffic to come through. However internet on vlan 100 works fine with the ODI sfp.
