Exactly, that's the issue a ton of folks face with Excitel, not sure how @FunnyMan did it.

@tr1k0N4, I have replaced the Airtel provided ZyXEL AOT-5221ZY with the TP-Link XX530v router from the start of this week and I felt a lot of positive changes since then. Now that I can set Google DNS in router, I feel that websites are more snappier to open. Even YouTube streaming has improved a lot. Earlier I was getting a lot of speed drops specially on wifi but now the speeds are very consistent and I always get full 200mbps speed as per my plan throughout the day. I have not yet setup voip as I don't have much use of it, but I'll certainly try that also soon. Thanks a lot brother for helping me take this decision.

Hahaha you're welcome, brdr!
I'm a great advocate for replacing ISP shit with your own equipment if you have the budget!
Enjoy your new-found home network stability and upgrade!!!

Can I use it with ISP Connect in Punjab. At present I am using Huawei EG8145V5

 

[tr1k0N4]

What kind of tech does connect use, nowadays? GPON or EPON?

 

[sasha]

GPON. It uses Serial Number registered and MAC ID.
Also Password in PPPOE
Service Type: TR-069_INTERNET

 

[tr1k0N4]

So you made it work?

 

[sasha]

No,
Actually I extracted details from existing Huawei EG8145V5. Need to confirm before purchasing.

 

[tr1k0N4]

I suggest getting MAC reset from the back-end as XX530v has a MAC clone bug in the lastest firmware.
