Airtel is now giving a new equipment for FTTH

[justageeek]

@awemonk , but he said config file was encrypted, so I guess that's not possible. But With Jio Routers some guys even got ways to decrypt that !.

@tyrannosaurhex , this ZyXEL Brand is Taiwanese.

I also got this router and i want to use it with another ISP. I tried by in bridge mode but router restart everytime after few mins.
Anyone have any idea how can i use it with another ISP or in bridge mode?

 

[priyam]

Can you please help me with parental control on this router, because i am not able to block any site on this router. PLEASE it will be a big help.

Does anyone know where to check optical power in this ONT?

 

[bbforumstalker]

So apparently airtel pushed out an update severely crippling this ONT.
None of the WAN setting options are enabled anymore so my OP is invalid now.
GG airtel

Hi, Can we unlock this to be used with BSNL or use it as wifi extender?

 

[conquest]

Archer c7 on openwrt has several issues (specially their driver blobs are not upto the mark to closed source ones in official firmware). Comparing openwrt version with ISP provided locked router is apples to oranges. Archer C7 is a beast if used in dumb AP mode. The range is enormous if tweaked properly.

 

[bbforumstalker]

@conquest What tweaks do you use? I am currently using it as a dump ap + switch

 

[dreamsparkx]

@bbforumstalker is port at the bottom of the router GPON port? And can we replace this router with any other router like Google wifi PRO or any other that you can suggest?

 

[bbforumstalker]

@dreamsparkx No you cannot. Unless your replacement XPON router supports Forging the Serial number of the Router given to you by airtel.
Not all support this.
This can help

@Lolita_Magnum @bbforumstalker Please tell me how to forward port. I have entered every possible combo but nothing works. What am I doing wrong? Exactly what to enter as Server IP address?
