Need help in configuring bridge mode for airtel fiber

[Chip]

@nocturnal_kimi7 why would a ONT/router lock out certain apps thru the firewall? This blocking is only done at the backend. Contact Airtel and tell them to resolve it. As for bridge mode that too is configured via the backend..if this router model doesn't permit it tell them to replace.

Does anyone here have success in bridging the Alphion?? Airtel s backend opened port 1 and 2. But still couldn't bridge it. The thing is on port 1 and 2 I was able to dail up with system by giving the credentials, yet no sucess on bridge mode.

@joecaesar mentioned on this forum many times before..if it doesn't work when you change the router to bridged mode you need to contact Airtel and have them do the change from their backend servers.

Like I have said before, airtels backend opened ports 1 and 2 on my request. But still can't bridge it to my TP-Link router ax50.

What do you mean by "still can't bridge it to my TP-Link router...."? Opening ports and setting ONT in bridge mode are different things. Get the bridge mode activated first.

I have done everything from my end from setting the modem on bridge mode and setting the router on pppoe and giving the credentials. But no internet. I am asking for any modem specific settings for Alphion.

@joecaesar did you set it to bridge mode yourself or did you have Airtel do it from the backend? Remember, it will probably not work till Airtel configures the ONT correctly. Call them and have it done for you.

Can't u understand? I have already mentioned it clearly, if u have useful info share else stay put.

Evidently, you are the one who isn't understanding!
Doing everything from your end is not sufficient. Bridge mode needs to be enabled from Airtel's back end.
Opening ports and bridge mode are not the same
