@MZRecords I'm pretty sure its VLAN issue. Try to find out the correct VLAN. For some reason, these Realtek/Mediatek based ONT's are not handling the VLAN correctly from Alcatel/Nokia ONT (ALU).

I've shared my experience in another thread here. In Dasan/Huawei/Nokia ONTs provided by airtel, we need to set 100 as VLAN. But in TP-Link G3 and ODI SFP, its different. Initially when i started using G3, it was 950. Then it was changed to 980 when i Airtel moved my account to different BRAS. Now recently its again changed to 1503. Even now if i connect back Dasan ONT, i've to set 100 as VLAN, but the same will not work with G3 or ODI.

So you need to VLAN scan and find out the same. And configure that in your router.
 
@hariselio G3 has VLAN scan, G7 doesn't. I don't have an accurate idea on how I can scan for VLAN IDs. I guess I will have to use Wireshark or some kali package to scan for VLAN. If anyone could help me with this, I would be grateful.
 
@MZRecords See if you find any clue from your Dasan logs... For eg, when i searched for 'gemport' in my dasan log, i see the following entries.

I clearly see 1503 entry in the above log which is my VLAN ID i'm using with ODI SFP.

OMG @hariselio , your trick worked man . I use a TP-Link G3 and i scanned the VLAN and it found a PPPoE server at 2412 , since i use static ip, i put those in my mac and it just started working right away, the only issue is now that the speed is limited to >~ 100 mbps although my plan is of 300 mbps. Below is my VLAN scan from G3.

Edit: Speed issue fixed after some time , it looks like the airtel side takes some time before it allocated full speed to your new ONT device.

Holy Cow , i even fixed the low speed by setting custom MTU to 1492 and the speed is same , infact more stable than what i get in default ONT 350 mbps both up and down.

Update: I reverted back to standard 1500 MTU and the speed is still 350 mbps up and down . It looks like it takes sometime to give you full speed as per your plan when you switch a device.
