ONT Recommendation for BSNL FTTH

I called into that number. They're saying it'll be available by Friday. I don't know though ho much honest they are!!

Railwire is not available at my location. Infact none of the ISP is available except BSNL :-(

Any idea if I can get those device here in Bangalore??

Even my bulk orders are pending due to stock shortage.
So they are telling the truth.
SY-GOPON-1000R-ONU is available but this model doesn't support phone connection.

How is this?

^ This is a good device, but do note that there are different variants of the same model. This particular linked one has only fast ethernet ports, not gigabit (Gigabit version is a bit more expensive) So when purchasing you'd need to confirm with the seller.

@varkey Hii , I need ur help in understanding this. I was using BSNL FTTH since early 2019 with EPON connection. Last Monday morning (while working )the connection went off showing LOS in the modem ( I was using Syrotech SY-GOPON-1000-WONU). I called up the LCO and he told me he was upgrading it to GPON from EPON and will take time. I agreed. I waited till next day, no change. I called him up again, he mentioned since it was upgraded to GPON my current modem wont support anymore and I should buy a new one from him. Since i am WFH and i was on quarantine i had no other option so i agreed upon getting a new one. I waited for one more day and there was no response from him, last day he responded telling me there is no stock available. Finally, since i had to join work ASAP i did an online research and ordered TP-Link archer GPON xr500v ac1200.
I told the LCO the same, but he was telling me TP-link might not work. Is this true?? I checked with tech support of tp-link and they said it would work fine. Will i be able to configure the tp-link modem myself???

@Matt008 It should work, most OLTs tend to make it compatible other brand devices. Depending on how the OLT is configured, you might need the operator to allow the new ONT to register with the OLT, they might be whitelisting based on the serial number of the device.

Anyway in your case the operator should do whatever is necessary for the new device to be activated.

@varkey Thankyou for your reply.

Thanks for approving my membership into this forum. Hope to learn from the members here.

I have a BSNL FTTH 777 plan and I have the following questions
1. Even though its mentioned in this forum earlier, can I use any other ONT instead of the Alphion supplied by BSNL?
2. Has anybody tried to hack any other GPON ONT to make it compatible with OLT ?
3. There is a dual band router + ONT listed by Alphion, in their site. Does BSNL provide that?

thanks in advance

1. Maybe or maybe not. You might need to experiment yourself. 😅
2. 🤷🏻‍♂️
3. Better option would be to just use the Alphion in bridge mode with another good wireless router perhaps an Archer C6.

You can get Huawei Echolife HG8310M if u need a ONT from a reputable brand.
Or else you can go for Chinese rebranded ONT from companies like Syrotech,DBC,Netlink etc.

Brother Huawei is also a Chinese brand...but as a BSNL stock router i got an ONT from Alphion(ONT-1143) ...It does not have any features but does cover the basics like Guest WLAN , MAC filtering , Priority , QOS , etc

Not entirely related to this thread, but anyone here using the voice feature of BSNL FTTH? If yes, please share your experience and suggest any phone model which has good performance. Thanks
