Nokia G-140W-F bridge mode?

[spsneo]

I recently got airtel xstream installed. The steps I followed were almost the same as above. I have the Nokia G2425G-A ONT and TP-Link Archer C80.

1. In Nokia LAN settings, changed Port 4 to Bridge mode.
2. Connected the ONT (LAN port 4) and my router (WAN port).
2. Added the PPPOE username and password in the TPlink router. I also had enable VLAN/IPTV in my personal router and set the Internet VLAN ID as 100.

I did not have to call with Airtel customer care to enable the bridge mode. I was able to set it up without any issue (I had to figure out the VLAN stuff which I got a clue from this thread itself).

PPPOE Login will happen from both the Nokia and your personal Router with different Public IP Addresses.
Speed through both is the plan speed (200 MBPS in my case). I've disabled wifi on the Nokia.

Thanks all for contributing to this thread. I'm a silent reader usually but thought I should contribute here since this thread was very helpful.

How did you figure out PPPOE password?

@spsneo The 'Relationship Number' in the bill is the PPPOE password. You can look at the bill in the Airtel Thanks app.

Well what if we remove their remote control?

After using Airtal Fibre 300 mbps connection for 3 months in this time connection went down 4 times and for each ticket it took at list 4 days to it get resolved, really guys don't take Airtal xtreme fibre they will roast you to your core, after 5 in evening there speed will go down to 40-50 mbps and till morning it will be same and there speed fluctuate too much, there connection will drop at list 10 to 15 times in a week for 1 or 2 minutes, after all this i have to take BSNL fibre which i thought will be garbage but its not, there service is top class no problem till now from last 1 month

That looks like your area specific problem. In my area in last 2.5 months since I took airtel fiber connection it hasn't even gone offline once. I get steady 220 Mbps on it at any time of the day.
Where as my friend who has Bharat fiber his internet for sure goes off atleast once in every 10 days. I don't why would anyone take bharat fiber if jio and airtel are available in one's area except if your bsnl guys have really dedicated themself for their job! Which most of the time isn't the case. They don't even give pan India plans, different plans for new and old users. I remember talking to bsnl guy about installation charges and that 60 Mbps 599 plan and he refused to give that plan instead told me there's only 849 plan available for my area plus he was charging 6k for the installation (ont, wire and labour). Don't go for Bsnl unless you have full confidence on your area bsnl employees or lco.

i also from same city but not having single problem only went offline 2 times when internal wires for my connection got damaged

I wish I knew. The technicians came over and plugged their own laptop into the bridged lan port, and saw the same 100mbps speeds. They then made a few calls and had it fixed. Never explained. Just said it was fixed from the NOC

Hey, what was the complaint you gave them?

I raised issue saying slow speed but they visited and said that if I use additonal router in bridge mode I won't get more than 100Mbps. Apparently speed will get distributed but on Nokia I get 200

So they haven't done anything from their side till now. I just went ahead and edited the router html and removed the <fieldset> disabled attribute and was able to change the settings on the WAN page successfully. Now only VOIP is provisioned on the Nokia router and I'm able to PPPoe from my router. The changes seem persistent on reboot, not sure if they'll force the settings from the backend again.

NOT WORKING for me bro any other solution u have??

@aditya369 you need to contact Airtel Support. They will enable it through their backend systems. The latest routers are locked down and you cannot modify the script. Don't waste your time.

The bridged port is normally LAN 4. Also, in bridge mode the Nokia gets 1 IP and your personal router will get another one. There's no difference in speed in either PPPoE of the connections.

This no longer works unfortunately.
