Nokia G-140W-F bridge mode?

@Gokul Kannan if time permits could you please add the screen shot of your iptv section?

@social3467 could you please help me with vlan tagging?

I'm not sure about the Asus interface. Here's how it looks for a TP-Link router. You have to create a custom VLAN profile.

@gopichandpai Here is the screenshot of the IPTV section of my router

Spoke to airtel backend team. They need to enable bridge from their backend it seems. Backend team lead took Mac ID and Serial Number of the router to enable it from the back end

the G-2425G-A Nokia router GPON page has channel option set to "auto", and greyed out. Is there a way to change that? if not, why

@fizified use inspect element and delete the attribute "disabled" from the input tag for the drop down for channel selection. Then save the settings.

I am still not able to get the bridge mode working. None of the Airtel guys seem to even understand what I am asking.

@gopichandpai Not sure why you're unable to make it work. The process has worked for most of us. Some settings you'll have to adjust based on your router.

Btw why do you need bridge mode? For normal browsing you can just connect via LAN. For port forwarding you can DMZ your router and that should solve the issue.

If you have a config backup, try resetting the router and setup bridge mode again.

Ok, got it working but not fully! I had to enable dual WAN on my Asus router and choose the primary connection as LAN1. Once this was done, it started working. But getting about 130Mpbs on 200Mbps plan.

I will delete the profile on Nokia ONT and see if it improves the speed. Connecting directly to Nokia ONT gives me full speed

Any one achieved bridgemode without VLAN tagging? I've google mesh wifi which does not VLAN tagging.

Finally got it working. I reset Nokia router. Enabled the bridge mode on LAN1(Bridge mode for me didn't work on any other port than LAN1). Configured PPOE on my Asus router. I didn't have to do vlan tagging and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for me helping me out.

@smnrock after reading your question I tried deleting vlan tag and it is still working.

Sorry for the long post!

Guys i tried to bridge this with my Netgear X4S (R7800) back when March when i changed to Airtel Fiber but nothing worked. I searched google and used the alternate method of using DMZ and configuring both routers. I posted the method earlier today on reddit as a solution for people like me as i saw some posts with similar issues. I have been using this for months and it is working perfectly. My pc is connected to my X4S using Netgear A7000 wifi adapter and there are no speed or nat issues in online gaming either. All devices are connected through my X4S and have disabled radios of my Airtel. So sharing it here too if someone wants to try this method if bridge still doesn't work.

Coincidentally my telephone was not working today so Airtel support changed the modem and i now have the newer Nokia G-2425G-A. One immediate change i noticed is now you can't change any settings on the Network-WAN page and nothing is editable unlike the G-140W-F. See the pics below:

G-140W-F


G-2425G-A


Anyway these settings do not matter in this method and already am using it on the new modem. I know its not as simple as bridge mode but what works for me and worth a try for those like me.

Settings for Airtel Nokia Modem+Router (192.168.1.1 in my case). Both router should not be connected with each other when configuring either.

1 - LAN Settings: To get your other router working seamlessly first you need to know the MAC address of the other router you are connecting to the airtel one. This is usually written itself on the router at the back. This is because you need to setup DMZ on your airtel router for your other router (step 2). For that you need to give that router a static ip from your airtel router. Use any one from its DHCP range (i set mine for 192.168.1.7 for example).



2 - DMZ: Enable DMZ as below after you have added a static entry for your other router.



3 - Finally DNS, Firewall and UPnP settings need to be like this (if its not already)









Rest of the settings don't need to be touched. Now for your other router settings.

4 - Internet Setup (WAN): Since Airtel will be making internet connection you don't need to using your ISP login settings on your other router and let them remain on default. Here are mine on my Netgear for example:



5 - Lan Settings: My netgear auto-switched from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.1 once it detected a conflict with airtel. You can use any ip adress you want like 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 etc



6 - Nat and UPnP: Nat should be disabled on this router as it creates a conflict with airtel where it is enabled





7 - Now with both routers configured connect them using ethernet cable. The cable should go into internet (coloured) port of your other router.





Hope this works for you if bridge mode is not working.

Finally got bridge mode enabled from back end and connected my Netgear R7000 through PPPOE. It was very straightforward once the backend team enabled port 4 for bridge mode. I also had to delete WAN profile in the Nokia ONT so that R7000 directly logged in. Also, checked for double NAT issue which wasn't there.

The router/GPON has a telnet interface. Unfortunately, the console does not provide a facility to configure the router,

Internally it is running the same software as G140WC,

There seems to be and old config in the router,

Hello Rajil, do you have any info on the 'Shell' option in the Telnet/SSH interface?
Can you tell about the 'dynamic password' it asks for?
