What router is being provided by Airtel on new Xstream Fiber Connections?

[Deleted member 70865]

also does anyone know which router are they providing with new fiber connections ?

 

[Deleted member 70865]

which ones can be bridged easily ?

I currently dont really have a bridge setup more like an extention setup with the airtel provided Beetle 777VR1 and my Nighthawk x6 (Lan to Lan ethernet connection) with dhcp server handled by the Beetle router.

Would a config like this be possible with the Nokia onu+router ?

I saw on YouTube where one reviewer said that airtel is giving users(including him) Huawei routers due to shortage of Nokia routers. It must be varying from region to region depending on stock.

I have BT-121. It is worst of all. changes to settings is not saved most of the times. I am going to get a replacement Nokia, which is better that the BT-121.

It works well if in bridge mode. Otherwise, agreed. It does hang a lot and has poor range

Is anyone using any repeater/range extender for bridging this poor range.. I have been using their VDSL connection with Huawei HG630V2 and the range has been very disappointing.. Any suggestions ?

i use TP-Link archer c6 as range extender, its preety good router and cost 2.5k in Amazon n fkart

I am using Mi Repeater 2 and have used TP-Link wifi extender also with the Nokia router they have given.

For most of the time these wireless repeaters work normally. However sometimes the connection shows error and the only way to correct is by restarting the extender.

I guess the issue is the lease expiry or the IP Address allocation by the router. I suspect it creates an issue sometimes.

I am using TP-Link range extender 305 model.

@Lamborghini - Does the repeater abruptly lose connection at any time? Or has it been stable with no dropped connection since you used it?

 

[Tejas01]

I don't recall but in my usage it has been pretty stable. I use it for like watching YouTube for an hour or so and no disconnections, atleast from the extender. I have the expensive one, the one which I mentioned in my earlier post.
