So what exactly are the issues with the wireless router provided by the company? Just trying to collect all the issues in this post.

One problem is the public www.excitel.com ssid that one member here claimed gave him access to his neighbor's router.
Is bridging possible?
Can wi-fi functionality be disabled?
What other features are disabled/blocked/hidden in the router?
 
1. Ideally bridging should be possible by cloning mac of ur onu but i was unsuccessful when i tried bridging. Someone else should also try and report here, may be i was doing something wrong. Although when i got dumb onu, i was able to bridge the same wifi onu as mac binding is not on dumb onu. They should disable mac binding on 2k devices so that we can use bridging easily.
2. Wifi can be disabled and even member here reported they have successfully disabled www.excitel.com ssid.
3. I had the gx onu and range was low compared to c6 and it used to heat upto 55 ℃ and more. I feel the wifi onu will definitely have issues in summer

₹750 ONU won't be available anymore. They are providing Dual Band ₹2000 ONU which has telephone port as well .As they aim to launch calling facility along the lines of Airtel/Jio/BSNL in future : Area Manager of Excitel told me
 
We don't mind paying 2k if bridge mode can work on 2k devices afaik bridge mode don't work on 2k devices, those who have 2k device can check and confirm. It didn't work when i tried
 
I have a wifi router connected in AP Mode with Excitel provided router (ONU) as an Access point. The AP keeps disconnecting every couple of days and the ethernet cable has to be reconnected to get the connection back. Don't know if its a cable issue or the ONU.
