No Bridge Mode in ZTE F670LV9.0

[barryhues]

Hello,
I recently got a new Airtel Xstream Broadband connection and was provided with ZTE F670LV9.0 router. I tried to configure Bridge mode but couldn't find any option for it in WAN profile settings. Previously I had BSNL FTTH and Bridge mode was easily configured without any hassle. Please help me how can I enable bridge mode on my router. I live in UP West

@FujiwaraTofu I don't use the landline, but I feel it should be connected directly to the ZTE.

I emailed 121@airtel and got a visit from a technician, who refused about bridge mode and it's possibility. How do I pursue this further or get someone more on the technical side from airtel's backend?

Write to [email protected] stating the experience and asking for bridge mode enabling on your router.
On zte670l the bridge mode is enabled from the backend by airtel noc team. the firmware is not having this feature directly.
i was told by airtel technician that earlier firmware had it but since v12 they removed it
when technician visits ask him to connect to his senior. when technician does not know he starts beating around the bush.
this is classic issue with all isps in india.

I had written to net@airtel earlier but did not get a response, that's why I wrote to 121@airtel. Will try to get a technician again and speak to senior.

Got bridge mode working

1. Contacted LCO, they asked whether I wanted bridging on whole router or just one port, I specified port 4.
2. After bridging is complete, PPPoE on ZTE router will stop working giving "ISP Timeout"
3. You DO NOT need to create VLAN 100 on PFSense, you can directly create PPPoE on WAN (no VLAN required).
4. Username is "DSL No" under Airtel app and password is your account no.

Next step is to get IPv6, if anyone is on PFSense, please do send screenshot of ur ipv6 config page.

Don't have a screenshot but here is what you need to do

On WAN :

• IPv6 config type is DHCPv6
• Use IPv4 Connectivity as Parent Interface

On LAN:
Enable tracking on the LAN interface towards WAN (Airtel PPPoE)

Enable Router Advertisements

• Use Unmanaged
• Advertise Default Gateway
• Advertise DNS if you want to

DHCPv6 is not needed / required
