Is it specific to me ? or anybody else having this problem?.. Wifi is connected more than 10 devices. Connected more than 10 devices but internet is used by only one device. Even in that condition, I get 30Mbps speed. Is there any speed quota for each device? or max spped per device?
1. Double NAT: Connecting LAN Port of ONT (Huawei) to WAN of router. This is simple and requires no setup. You can use DHCP option on your C80 and itll simply get the IP from Huawei. However, the problem is port forwarding will be tougher as you have to forward ports both on the Huawei and new Router. Performance could also be affected due to extra layer of NAT.
2. Bridge Mode: You could put Huawei in bridge mode and let new router handle routing, pppoe and everything. Should be better as TP-Link router has more powerful CPU. Also, extra NAT layer will be avoided. But this does require more configuration.
Option 2 seems better. Is there any tutorial on how to configure with bridge mode? If I choose bridge mode, do I have to call BSNL to bind MAC address of router?

Set ur internet connection in Huawei as bridge mode and connect TP-Link with lan. Select ppoe mode in TP-Link. Give ur username and password and u r done.

I think this is what should be done.. But any tutorials or guides?
Bridge is the one you should try. You will have to put on Bridge if you get a NAT issue at a later point of time. So do it when you are configuring it , you know. Its not very difficult
You can try posting screenshots and ask help if you get stuck at any method
Nothing much to change after you get your everything working and internet on your router , just turn off Wifi on your ONT
This is related to Wifi and not the Internet configuration and should be done in your router(not ONT). Use WPA2/PSK as Encryption and turn off WPS as it can lead to Wifi getting compromised
