Still its not possible to use 2k ont in bridge mode due to mac binding. @Sushubh is right only ur lco can help. I tried myself when i had one but no use, i was able to use 2k ont in bridge mode when they change my onu to rs 750 before that the same router didnt work in bridge mode.

i was able to use 2k ont in bridge mode when they change my onu to rs 750

i am confused lol.

@Sushubh simple when i had 2k ont, i was unable to use it in bridge mode. When they replaced it with rs. 750 onu, i had that old Rs. 2k ont with me for 1 day. I tried to use it in bridge mode and it worked. Coz if u have Rs. 750 device then u can use any onu which is whitelisted on olt. In my case my 2k ont was already whitelisted so it worked. I have other non wifi onu also (not from excitel) but they won't work coz their macs are not whitelisted on olt. As per excitel Rs 2k device has mac binding and u can't use it in bridge mode due to that. Hope that i am clear.

@opomiyulen is right.. They use mac binding... JB701 explained the same thing to me ..

I have put up a ticket asking them to replace my ONU+wifi-ac combo with ONU 1G device.. they said it may take more than a month or two due to inventory issues... let's see.. in the meanwhille I am stuck with this Optilink router..

If you need to use ONU in Bridge mode, then go with simple 1G ONU, the ONU With inbuilt AC Router will not work in Bridge mode.

 

[Sushubh]

is the basic onu capable of gigabit speeds if you guys ever launch it?

 

[jakstat77]

Yes the basic ONU is gigabit capable... i confirmed from excitel cutomer care that's why it's called ONU 1G...i guess...

Finally got my Excitel 2k ONU+Router combo replaced with Rs 1000 ONU only... LCO replaced the unit within 2-3 days of opening ticket.. although on call he said it might take 1 month or more...Don't know which brand ONU it is... there is no mention of it anywhere... yes it is gigabit capable... I am using 2 Archer A6 one as router and one in AP mode....

Its this one 1GE EPON ONU ONT ZTE Chipset (S/N: EP802A) - Shenzhen ekosmartview Co.,Ltd.

All these ONTs are very similar and have similar board layout and same chipset (ZX279125)

Yup that seems to be the one.. Any way to login into the ONU without ethernet cable directly.. ? I have a macbook.. so no ethernet port
Default gateway for ONU is 192.168.1.1 but it's not opening anything when on wifi... My Router is at 192.168.1.2..
