How to enable bridge mode on Airtel XStream Fiber's ONT Sercomm AOT-4221SR?

Pretty much the question.

More references about the issue that I have been facing can be found here

DNS issue appears after 8-12 hours of AOT-4221SR router runtime - Restarting fixes the problem temporarily

Hi everyone, I have been a lurker on IBF for some time now and decided to create an account when I finally faced an issue that I could not find answers to. Please bear with my inexperience and let me know if more information is needed from my end. I have been a subscriber to Airtel XStream...

It is not that the router replacement is not possible but rather the fact that I suspect the situation will not improve even after it is done.

I have changed my router thrice - first I had the Dragon Path 707GR1 first which I switched over to Nokia G140WF and then finally to the Sercomm AOT-4221SR - but to no avail which makes me think that it is probably not an issue with the router itself.

The existing guides explain the process for other ONTs but it will help me if I were to know how I can do it with the newer ONTs.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The process is the same for any ONT. Write a mail to Airtel and ask them to enable bridge mode.

@doineedto, hey - do I need to have a public IP address in order for the bridge mode to work or would a normal random AirTel assigned IP work just fine?

Random airtel assigned ip will work fine.

Does anyone manage to get bridge mode enabled? If yes, what steps did you follow?
The "Add" button for interface seems greyed out for me.

^ mail to airtel noc([email protected]) ... or contact ur local engineer and tell him to call backend and activate bridge mode ...

Hi Sayantan, my local engineer is a bit of a tool, he told me that the factory configuration is the "configuration airtel gave us". I am thinking of calling 121, is that what you guys did as well?

Just to be clear, do I need to create a new WAN interface as below?
