Suggest a Full fledged Fibre Router

Just a comment because they didn't charge you for installation.
What a miracle.
Haha

@sloj UPC vs APC. Which one is best?

 

[sloj]

I'm no expert but both APC and UPC have their uses.

[JB701]

both should work right? Huawei's datasheet shows "SC/UPC, SC/APC" just has to be the SC connector which is used by almost every ISP

Syrotech doesn't even mention UPC/APC just says SC Connector

Ya, telecommate shows UPC by default and APC for choice but they are not compatible. Can't mix and match APC and UPC. It has to be same on both ends.

I finally had to settle with Netlink ONT, purchased from local market here in Chandni chowk, Kolkata @ 2850 all inclusive

The technician sent me this pic and asked me to configure it myself. Can somebody confirm based on this screenshot is my VLAN 212?
There is another thing I noticed, The account name doesn't match the username, not sure why that is the case.

 

[JB701]

yes, set vlan as 212 , pppoe username as the User ID in the screenshot and pppoe password is "password" on BSNL afaik

@Blue Leaf You mean the first two letters of the userid not matching with your name? Well that can only be answered by who created your id. May be they are doing it alphabetically like car numbers or may be some other reason.

 

[sloj]

Btw some conflicting info on Netlink's own site. Description says SC/APC and datasheet says SC/UPC.

 

[Blue Leaf]

Yes Indeed the first two letters of the user id not matching my name.

I have got it up and running. Thank you all, I downgraded my plan to fibre basic plus @599 (60 Mbps till 3300 GB , 2 Mbps post FUP)
Speed seems to be maxing out the 60mbps limit so far, don't know if the trend will continue.

Calling upon Subject matter experts to validate the Tx Rx Powers

Is it worth changing the DNS? I heard BSNL was forcing their own DNS despite end user changing them.

Tx ,Rx is Ok. U can find the optimal range in that ONT datasheet.
DNS neither affects speed nor ping ,so ur choice.
I get similar speeds for Fiber basic plus.

You can try setting up VOIP wan profile also ,and use any VOIP app for windows /android to make /receive calls.
