Question regarding Airtel Bridge mode to AX73 TP LINK

[SamosaLove]

Um no i am not able to create a new WAN INTERFACE in Nokia . only see TR069 & VOIP in WAN CONNECTION LIST. ( under Network > WAN ? )

But i did notice my WAN IP now changed from 100 to 122 as starting

They took you off CGNAT?

Honestly they don't know & point at front end and back end team. Technician says backend team and back end team says they have errors doing Bridge mode connection lol as its CGNAT and they could not change it.

At this point i don't even know what i have but can share all the screenshots as needed. Even when i asked static IP they said its showing error and need to ask TL but since i got working wifi now on the TP-Link router i just cancelled it .


I am pretty new to this and only with your knowledge im learning and understanding what im having

Raise a bridge mode request again, is what I'd suggest.

Ok thanks , sure will do it . Also another doubt if i get static ip and get it cancelled incase if they adamant on bridge mode then will it impact ?

Also dumb doubt from what i read here double NAT creates the latency issue ? apart from it just to learn asking what is the actual drawback ?

Update : Airtel says i have static Ip , so now raised request for configuring it & bridge mode it now. Later down the road after 3 months i might cancel it and see if it might affect bridge mode

Small doubt , does bridge mode make Lan ports not get ethernet ? never used it before bridge mode on this ONT and when i tried to connect it did not give internet .

Technician said SIP pinging so might be port issue on ONT and might need replacement

Steps tried

+ TP-Link ax 73 detects LAN ( DURING SETUP ) only in a small 20 second window when Nokia ONT restart after than need to restart ONT to detect LAN

+ Laptop with ethernet could not detect the internet during that 20 second window


ALso static ip is live now and he said he configured from backend and i can see the new IP, now waiting for Bridge mode PPPOE id pass from him

 

[tr1k0N4]

That's right, internet on bridged ports would only work when you dial PPPoE in case of Airtel or set the static IP on your network adapter/router.
Also, you don't need the technician for PPPoE credentials:

What BS is this?
Ask him to elaborate.

Thank you i was finally able to make them set bridge mode . I also got id password for it but LAN port detects only during that 20 second window of restart. Also the LED of LAN port goes off after that 20 second and TP-Link also fails to recognize LAN after it .


But internet working on WIFI just LAN shows down on the admin page and not detected by hardware after that 20 second window.


ALSO noticed during bridge mode enabling they made the access for me to change ports to bridge mode myself and now its locked again with the message "Normal user does not have this permission "
