Static IP address provisioning process

[Chip]

Gave it up in Sept. Coz the buggers started charging me 199 instead of the 99 earlier. This static IP is only temp to experiment with the so called 1 gig bug.

trust me do one thing, convert your connection to prepaid from airtel thanks app after getting static IP and then stop recharging it, you will not have to pay for static IP as well as for 1gbps speed. tried and tested.

I am on airtel black yaar, it's a monthly billing programme for DTH + BB

 

[albonycal]

Airtel's billing system is SO messed up that I recharged for a month and got 6.. Not even kidding it shows 6 months, my previous recharge was for 6 months so maybe they just added 6months for 1769 INR? LOL

@albonycal do you host everything in your RPi? Is the speed 1gbps?

 

[albonycal]

No I don't host anything on my raspberry pi, and there's no way it can do 1G because it is a raspberry pi zero 2w.
And I don't have a static IP. I am currently on 300M plan and get > 500M.
I do host ALBONY.XYZ MIRROR on the same connection

Had sent an email to [email protected] Tuesday night, got a callback today saying they will reach out to the concerned team and get it resolved soon.

Will wait and see.

So the Airtel technician visited today, he had the static IP address details, however I am unable to get it working on my Mikrotik router.

Since the ZTE router was locked down, the technician was unable to manually configure the static IP address on the Airtel device too. He spoke to someone in the backend and they pushed some changes to enable manual creation of WAN profiles. After that configured the static IP address details on the ZTE and it worked.

But I am unable to configure it on my Mikrotik, basically no connectivity if configured with static IP address. Not sure what I am missing. PPPoE still works over bridge mode on my Mikrotik, so clearly the bridge mode config remains.

Any thoughts? @nishantt6969 @Chip

The static IP details are

IP Address 122.166.43.x
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 122.166.43.1

 

[MrGordon]

But yes the speeds seem uncapped when accessing through the static IP WAN profile

 

[nishantt6969]

you can have static ip working at only one place at a time, are you able to create new profile? and is bridge mode enabled on zte?
