That's definitely not me. And why sorry? Lol
@anmolbhard004 yes Had tried the static IP method on both laptop and Mikrotik but no success.
Will wait for SFP and try with it soon.
@Rajneesh Rana I guess we are just wasting moneh buying all these equipments. Writing up a complaint on CPGRAMS would do the trick as Anmol ji suggested. He got his MACs flushed, maybe we'll have to aswell even though my NOC guy told they don't bind on fiber.
@Hitori_Abhito7 you are correct, but we all are in this forum for a reason and that reason is to take control of our home network from Airtel, back to our own hands. We all are forced to use double NAT and trash wifi due to the cheap routers Airtel provides us. Also I don't like it when out of nowhere airtel uses their tr-069 and resets my router or put their nose inside my home network.
Earlier (when I wasn't using bridge mode) I raised a service request regarding my WiFi bugging out, the technician on the call was monitoring my home-network and then he said "Sir, I can see, you have 12 devices connected, please disconnect everything from wifi and connect laptop using LAN, then send me screenshots"
After sending him screenshots, he replied "Sir, I can see you are still connected using WiFi, connect using LAN port."
This was the point at which I freaked out and was furious. Hence, I am here, to pull myself out of this so called "easy to use" or "one-click" setup.

@MZRecords very well said!
Also, was your LAN issue solved, by any chance?

UPDATE:
Received my XZ000-G7 back from TP-Link today.
I am having same issue, I get O5 (Registered) status without cloning my GPON S/N, the moment I clone my GPON S/N into G7 the LAN link goes down.
So to test this I went over to my friend's house who lives 10km away from my place. He has Seracomm ONT. When I plugged his SBC cable, G7 shows O2 (Standby) status. Then I cloned his GPON S/N onto G7, in few seconds got O5 (Registered), from Windows I dialed PPPoE, it connected and internet worked.
To further confirm my suspicion I requested one of my immediate neighbours to let me test it, kind of them, they allowed me to run my test.
I plugged their SBC cable into G7 and it shows O5 (Registered), then I cloned their Nokia GPON S/N. The LAN link didn't go down this time. I dialed PPPoE using their credentials and internet worked.
Conclusion: Airtel has done something special to my connection. My friend and my neighbour neither have bridge mode enabled on their connection nor they have unlocked or tampered with their connection. It is as it was setup by airtel during the installation. They have only changed WiFi Name and Password using Airtel App. I will call my local technician and lets see what he says.
PS. MAC address cloning was not neccessary to dial PPPoE. It just worked without any additional efforts.

MAC-binding is a myth in Airtel, it's always something else that's fucking up this simple setup.
And in your case, it seems to be a similar technicality. Well, whatever it is, I hope your issue gets resolved real soon! @MZRecords
