@arunkadambanattu 🤔 Are you facing any issues with the device? If not I'd not try any firmware changes. Anyway to answer your question, you might need to get in touch with the Netlink distributor I think. Afterall Netlink is just a rebranded Chinese device, the OEM wouldn't speak directly with you though.

@varkey Now I face this weird issue where my Chennai server pings are constantly above ~200ms, where I've been seeing these for a while and noticed that ping spikes occur whenever there's drop in voltage of bias current. Like when it's near 20v, it was somewhat alright. Does this have any impact? and well yeah, after bridging with your own router, is there any changes in your ping? ie., as your using less nat etc

It's unlikely the increase in latency just for Chennai to be due to fibre link issue.

Maybe use a tool like mtr and check the continuous traceroute with latency and see if there is any major variations.

Also, check at which hop the latency jumps to 200 ish. It's most likely a routing issue where traffic is getting routed through some other country maybe.

The increase in latency due to one more NAT layer would be negligible, maybe 1-2 ms max, so switching to bridge mode wouldn't show any major differences.
 
A follow up question to this @varkey
Mac Cloning didn’t work for this ont. Was it the fault of the Netlink ONT per se? Because as far as I know mac cloning is a real thing.

What I mean to ask is did Mac cloning fail because of this particular ONT, whereas it should have worked as it should if the ONT were different?

And if yes to this, then when you do clone MAC address, does the Mac address of the bridged ONT change to something else or does the router’s real/original MAC change to something else, while it adopts the cloned MAC of ONT?
