Wireless bridge - Nokia G2425w-a and Nokia G140w-c

rockysam619 · Dec 4, 2020

I am trying to connect Nokia G140w-c as a repeater for my airtel connection Nokia G2425w-a wirelessly i.e. without a lan cable
something similar to what is achieved here -

(This is with TP-Link router)

I am unable to locate bridging options in Nokia G140w-c.
Can you please help me with the same? or let me know if this is even possible?

I think the ONT doesn't support wireless bridging feature as it is designed to work as a standalone router with GPON connection.

Thanks Gokul! Is there any extender which you or any other expert will suggest.

@rockysam619 There are Mesh solutions as well as Extenders . Mesh give you single Wifi solution without disconnections whereas Extenders just normally extend your wifi. Both seem to work just fine unless your house is bigger than 1800 sq ft.

Thanks Shashank! was going through Amazon and online reviews and more than once I could see people complaining that extenders reduce the original wifi speed to a great extent. can anyone help me with this information? is it not worth buying extender?

About mesh solution, I see it very costly.

Yeah Extenders are not that reliable if they are being used wirelessly specially for Indian homes . Overall Wireless is a costly affair when we start talking performance.
What is the number of devices which will be used wirelessly ? I think a TP Link Archer A6 will work fine for your home

The models of Nokia you specified are both ONT right ?

Hi @shashankb , yes both the Nokia devices are ONT. About 7 devices will be used wirelessly. I checked TP-Link routers. There is this Archer c6-

and archer a6 you mentioned. This new place I am in is about 1500 sqft and the nokia G2425 is near the entrance so there are around 3 deadspots I have identified so far. you think placing one of these TP link routers at the centre of the house as an extender will resolve the issue?

shashankb · Dec 5, 2020

Yeah I think 1500 sqft will most likely be covered by the A6 model . The C6 is the older one . The Archer A6 v3 is the newer model retailing somwhere around 2K .

ok, Thanks for the valuable inputs @shashankb
