Hi just wanted to check if you receive ipv6 in pre and post bridge modeSo, I finally found the solution to this.
Apparently, only Lan port 4 of the router Nokia G-140W-C can do bridging mode. All the other ports can't.
I have done the change and it's working for me now. Finally, I can use my Asus router for everything, and Nokia router just for termination.
Please try, I am sure it should work for everyone.
The changes you need to do on the Nokia router are just 2:
1. Change the Lan port 4 to bridge mode (it will need a restart)
2. Enable IPoe mode in WAN settings. (Just restart after this to be on the safe side, though it doesn't need a restart)
Happy bridging and please don't forget to upvote if it works for you 🙂
I had the same issues with my archer c80. Couldn't get it to work despite following everything said here. Their teams were of no help at the begining. Apparently even the nokia router supports bridging. It's not about the router actually. They keep the feature disabled from the backend. And the usual management guys you talk to won't have any idea what it is or how it works.I have the same problem, my Airtel VDSL connection is changed to FTTH and I want to use my own Asus DSL-68u Router.(for routing)
I have bride the LAN port 4 and enabled the IPOE on Nokia G-140W-c
Can someone share the screenshots how the connections are done in the ASUS router !!
It will be really great help..
Thanks
@tellanand Look at @shavendum post above. Maybe they are untagging the port from backend.
They control every aspect of the router and i feel no changes will work unless provisioned from their end. You change a small thing and the internet stops working. Reset it from the router or the web GUI and they restore everything even the ssid password. Heck you can even change the ssid password and guest mode etc using their xstream broadband app. This suggests they push the configs from their end. Nothing is in user control unless they want to. It's good from the perspective of a normal user who may play around and mess up stuff. But for power users that's not good.@tellanand Look at @shavendum post above.

I think now that it's clear that they are the ones blocking bridge mode, all the people running around trying to find solutions here should start a petition or start nagging them for help on twitter. If enough people do this they might keep it enabled by default. Using their ONT or any other is fine as long as we can use our own routers with ddwrt, open wrt or pfsense. People should unite and do it publicly rather than wasting money on something airtel should have provided at the get go.Guess the problem is that the users are being forced to use ISP provided ONTs. The TR069 cannot be disabled in these routers.
An alternative would be to get the internet commissioned using the ISP router, and then replace it with an aftermarket GPON. The serial number will need to be cloned.
Funnily, the Nokia router provided by Airtel doesn't even allow the serial number to be changed.
Serial # must be part of their config file
