Yes, Airtel SERCOM modem has this as 4th option. Enabled and I tried using developer option to enable bridge on ZTE, works initially, allows only one device to connect and SERCOM modem become unresponsive. Could it be due to Channel conflict? I don't have much knowledge on bridge, if there is any article which talks about it. Please suggest or guide.
 
Yes, I tried initially and it didn't work. I kind of gave up on ZTE F670L. Today, I tried connecting to LAN4 port to TP-Link W-8968 (ADSL Modem repurposed as wireless router), it worked, not sure what did I miss the first time. But the WiFi coverage is similar to Airtel modem, so I don;t think wireless extender would solve the issue, I need to improve the source to an extent. Airtel keep closing the ticket I am raising saying there is no connectivity issue.

Also checked with ACT Fiber, surprisingly they are providing CAT6 connectivity, I thought they would provide ONT, but they provide Archer C5 router.

Finally decided and ordered TP Link Archer C6 which should give upto 3 room coverage. Hopefully, it should solve the coverage. As I don't need speed, I have opted for 40 MBPS only, I just needed wide coverage.

Thanks for all the inputs.

Well, I don't know much about bridge mode myself. Just did some basic stuff as suggested somewhere in this website. Maybe I got lucky that sercomm is working fine in bridge mode for me. I hope your problem gets solved by using new router.
